Hi Mike,

MM, As somebody wrote, I don't know why the Fed just doesn't print each and every one of us a billion dollars. That would solve this weak demand problem. <G>

Reminds me of Hitch Hikers Guide:
Use Leaves as money
Problem-severe inflation
Solution-Defoliate the forest

"I don't know why the Fed just doesn't print each and every one of us a billion dollars."

I have often wondered how new money is distributed. Is there a queue somewhere? Do they leave it on street corners and at bus stops in shoe boxes? I would like to get on the list. It doesn't have to be a billion, I would settle for 10 or 20 million.
