A request for Bespoke group, or anyone else who may want to answer a question I have? or anyone who thinks it is even worth an answer.
1. How much total $ currency is in circulation now?
2. With planned TARP+stimulus etc, how much more $'s will be added into the circulation
3. and this is the real question: for every $1trillion added to the circulation, how much inflation should be expected, assuming none of the added $'s are ever removed? Does addition of 10% $'s translate into 10% inflation? or is the math more complex

Another Day, Another Crash

This Recession Will Be Anything but Deep

Even if the money going into the banks is used to retire debt, that money flows into the pockets of lenders. The only debtor who is piling up debt, is govt and everyone else, who receives the funds from debt repayment will have to buy something with the funds. ONly govt can retire debt and vaporize money, people-sovereign funds-hedge funds or any one else getting money from debt retirement gets cash. Will they put that cash in a cave for a rainy day?? Not likely, they will create the next bubble, only I don't know what bubble will be created next, since all assets have now been deflated.
