What is amazing to me is we're still paying for all the wars in the World and keeping peace for the ones not currently in conflict while other countries only want a few percent for loans to do it.

There are some graphs back to 1300's when Venice was the center of things then the 1500s when the Dutch used to finance European wars and even our War of Independence. (side note, on AMC's Turn, the Brit's printed a ton of money to try and devalue the paper to hurt the rebel war effort.... and Washington considered defaulting as a way to thwart that ... )

Here is a fairly bearish chart...

Just so you don't think I only post bullish charts here.
