B.K.--I wouldn't necessarily assume that $200 billion is a misprint. Koskinen made a weird statement about a week ago re: "we can print more bills faster than they can take them out." I thought it was an insane comment to make. Even with the plan to print the additional $50 billion the estimated greenbacks available was only about $2,000 per household. I was certain he'd gone woo-woo. Message 7853771 Yesterday Alan Greenspan in his Senate testimony alluded that there would be plenty of money to go around. Perhaps there is a plan to increase that $50 billion to $200 billion. Well...the cat's out of the bag now. The word is official...Trouble dead ahead...Even the "bump kins" may find it hard to paint a happy face or smack a happy patch on this...but I'm sure they'll try.
