Fingers crossed eh?... When I think about the economy and especially Americas situation, I see a massive meteor hurtling towards the earth and a small boy with a pea shooter spitting one pellet at it.

Has anyone consulted Robert Penner on this? He's the end all authority on easing.

Money's just another human invention, like the spoon. It's all part of a big game everyone has to play. Sounds fun! I love board games.
Printing is just cheating. But I guess to start the game going someone had to print the "money". Then brand it to give it value, make it desirable to the masses and ultimately make the common folk of the land feel inadequate if they don't have much of it.
- Slightly more than that though. Try living without it.moth

I'd be all for it if they DID actually print money and give me some. But it all goes to the bank.
