Yes, Paulson, Bernanke et al have been printing money so fast they give it away for free to Wall Street.

Bernanke's theory is that the great depression was caused by too little liquidity (i.e., too little money). Of course, today's crisis is one of too much liquidity (Greeenspan's 10 year run of super low rates combined with zero regulatory oversight and fraud by major financial institutions), so the solution is.....let's see....

Of course.......more super low rates, no new regulatory oversight, and no real investigations into Wall Street frauds.

The 08-09 graph shows a nice recovery but at 10% unemployment and going higher, it ain't happening here, at least not unless you are a Wall Street Bonus Baby.
