G20: Print more money

David
THE great and mighty leaders of the G20 have come down from the high mountain with the answer to the world’s economic problems and the answer is? PRINT MORE MONEY.

Let the presses role and let the world shall become good again, let growth be resurrected and know no bounds. An economic renaissance grounded in the countless fecundity of the greenback and Yuan.

If it wasn’t so bloody funny it would be suicidally tragic in fact it will be a death sentence for millions and millions of the worlds poor and mean massive job losses and if history is a guide inflation not seen a scale since Germany in the 1920’s but this time on a global scale. God, but I hope I’m wrong.

As for Kevin 747 his answer is a cliché driven recovery, glasses half full, lights at the end of tunnels, sliver bullets and bags of optimism. At this rate we should soon pass from the great darkness to the sylvan pastures of the financial uplands while basking in the glow of a new world order born out of the doom and destruction of le siècle dangereux.

Or could it be as simple as once the capitalists thought they had won the cold war and communism had apparently been beaten they went on a free market bulimic binge, a binge of greed and gluttony to beat all previous pigs in troughs feeding frenzies. Oops a cliché, sorry Kevin I didn’t mean to steal your thunder, silver bullet – what ever.
