The European Central Bank pumped 94 billion Euros into cash-poor financial institutions to prevent their having to bar the doors to keep anxious depositors from withdrawing their money. Here at home the Fed kicked in $24 billion for the same purpose. When all of that phoney money hits the bricks, the price of everything we need is going to skyrocket. And the process (as far as I know) is barely out of the gate. Well: It doesn't do me any good to worry about it. My circumstances are such that all I can do is watch and try to deal with whatever comes down the pike. I think that probably 90 percent of other people are in the same boat. God help us all. - Jimmy Montague Fri, 10 Aug 2007 14:55:42 +0100
