Goldman Sachs - $10 trillion required!

Good visual of 1 trillion - maybe less 'over the top'?...

-------blog of Goldman text-----------------------------
http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/
In his weekly commentary, the Goldman economist says the Fed would need to grow its balance sheet to as much as $10 trillion to steer the economy away from a serious and dangerous long-term risk of deflation. The balance sheet, meaning the amount of assets it holds, is now a little less than $2 trillion.

Goldman economists say the risk of deflation is still substantial because there is so much slack in the economy. They see core inflation, excluding food and energy, turning negative by the end of 2010. Deflation is pernicious because it raises the real cost of borrowing for consumers and businesses.

With the Feds target interest rate the fed funds rate already at zero, the Feds only way to forestall such an event is to expand its balance sheet. Mr. Hatzius says Goldmans rough estimates suggest that it takes a $1 trillion to $1.6 trillion expansion of the Feds balance sheet to have the same stimulative effect on the economy as a one percentage point cut in the fed funds rate. Goldman further estimates that based on the Taylor rule for the connection between inflation, growth and the interest rate, the economy needs a -8% fed funds rate to get back on stable footing...........

  • Hello,

    I need your opinion. I have a piece of land. It is in a very turistic area in Monterey CA. It is not a city. Mostly farm and turism. Do you think it is too risky to get a construction loan for 200K and build a small 2 bedroom place and try to get a fixed rate before the hyperinflation hits? Selling is not an option as the price of the land is undervalued now and I own the land 95% free and clear. I am sad that you last video iabout contango is not there anymore.

  • Hi SilverRose. Sorry to say I don't have any useful advice to give regarding your land. Hopefully someone else can help.

    The Contango videos are still there , by the way. Maybe youtube was just having an 'off-day' last time you tried. It happens sometimes. Best wishes.

  • China is supporting USA because it is not of Chinas' best interest for the dollar to go down. My question is until when this support will continue? I believe will be until China has already secure the real assests and commodities contracts with best interest in their favor. The longer it last the better for China. What do you think?

  • One reason I bought oil (via the USO fund; there's a video on the channel) was a guess that China would start to buy beaten-down commodities with their new dollars instead of U.S. debt - accumulating something tangible they can use, instead of more paper debt to worry about. I imagine that will continue while commodity prices stay down in price.

  • The govt is destroying this country, as always happens in history. This would simply make thing s worse. More central control, more central planning, more central micromgmt of the economy.

    The govt caused the problem we are in now and will make it worse the more they meddle.

  • I use to be a Truck Driver for 16 years, before my knees went. To give people some sense of what a Trillion Dollars is. It would take @ 250 18-wheelers just to hall 1 Trillion in $100 bills. The weight of such a mass would be @ 10,000,000 lbs.

    My question is why would we wont to stave off deflation? The US has been living in a bubble from the early 80's. We need to deflate to bring strength (ie. value) back to the dollar. But the middle&lower classes might gain from it & we couldn't have that.

  • what is also mind blowing , Is there is not enough money in cirulation to pay off the national debt

  • @SilverRose09 What happens is they won't need to export to the US. That is almost impossible to happen soon though. Do you think the Chinese are going to go from being frugal to spending like Americans overnight? What will happen eventually is that they will start importing from the US and the world, in which case we will be buying their treasuries and exporting to them.

  • @dannydarias1 ...and...What is going to happen then?

  • @SilverRose09 Your assessment is totally incorrect. They are not "supporting" the dollar. They buy treasuries because they have to if they want to sell us products. The day they we no longer buy products from them, the day the buying stops.

  • According to Google that would be 4,535,923.7 kilograms of $100 dollar bills.

  • @robertcgage how much is that in kg ?
