  2. I picked deflation. If the Fed has to print "unlimited money" for perpetuity, then it means the velocity of money and economic activity are anemic, and deflationary. ;)

    It's looking like Inflation. How difficult will it be to control?

  4. First of all, the Fed just can’t print unlimited money until and unless there is a strong reason to do that. And if I have to answer your question, the result of unlimited printing would be that they would easily buy everything. But as I said, this isn’t possible. There are some rules and regulations that needs to be followed.

    Yep... the Fed needs to be policed. Sounds like a plan.

    Money will lose its value and I don't think any government would be ready for this. They know what must be done.
