I'm just looking at the "peace statue" in the book shelf.

The U.S. economy is actually headed into a very serious depression. From the year 2000 the Dow has lost 39% which is close to the loss of 42% for the decade of the Great Depression. Trade is also down to Great Depression levels and industrial production for the past nine months is in a decline similar to the nine months after 1929. This calamity has only just begun. Besides, the market has been tanking the last few days.

Though I agree, advising doesn't necessarily mean making policy. No politician will ever do anything that will collapse the economy, even if it was for the best.

Peter, you SHOULD be the Chief US economic adviser.

Very interesting (Scary) stuff about burden of proof!! Did Obama study law to figure out how to take away individual rights? Perhaps he believes that rights should be given to a select group of people and taken away from others. Time will surely tell and we won't have to wait too long at this rate of change.

Yes i agree with your first paragraph. Technically `inflation` is just an increase in money supply. However when people actually yes inflation they usually mean consumer inflation.
It is a fact to say that increases in money supply have not always led to increse in consumer inflation, it may or may not this time. Yes `IF` they dump the dollar, i am glad you have admitted this is just an if. I live outside the US, it is unbelievable how much confidence foriegn investors have in the dollar.

You've been reading too much J.M. Keynes: First off, inflation is an increase in the currency supply (inflating means expanding). Rising prices are NOT inflation; they are a result of it.
Sure, there's been a disconnect between money supply growth and prices because much of the money is held by foreign central banks. If they dump the dollar, a tidal wave of fiat money will flood the United States, and prices will rise fast. This, plus recent unprecedented FED printing = disaster.
