Wait, can Ackerman please tell us what is so different now than a year ago? Greece got a bigger bailout? And how did that fix any issues?

The last time we had real Euro gloom was Aug-Oct 2011, and it was a wonderful buying opportunity. PM at 5% yield!

I had a conversation this morning with a well educated academic who suggested the US. should go on a massive construction boom rebuilding its highways, bridges, schools and other decaying infrastructure because it worked in the 50s. I asked him where the money would come from. He said we could print it. I think he was serious.
