Quote from mahram:
This might sound naive question but why cant the government just print money or do other quantative moves and just dont report it. They do it all the time in the military, they seperate their budget into white, grey and black book budgets. As we all know, when it comes to national security and systemic risks anything is possible and not illegal. So why doesnt the government just print billions of dollar, put it throught hedge fund and investment vehical fronts, and just prop up the economy throught that way . that way they dont have to report the increase in money supply, and at the same time keeping the illusion of a small money supply. Everybody wins.

The Fed Reserve loan capabilities ....
Exchanging good money for ?????money....
How many trillions already....????
Guaranteed losses which will appear....
..........................................
What if the govt. was straightforward and simply presented the situation in an overall sense....
ie The govt. says look....
The larger banks gambled with depositors money and have basically lost it all....over $7 Trillion.....and then some....
And the Fed is running deficits....
So the issue is presented this way....
The govt. has one of 2 choices....
1) Restructure.....debts....the tax system such that real growth can happen quickly while improving American freedoms....
2) Pawning off over $1 million in debt for every US person....meaning tax increases....decreasing incentives to produce.....a diminishing economy by demanding more from a shrinking base....and virtually eliminating American freedoms....
Which do you think....the US people would choose ?
Guess which one has already been chosen.....????
