  5. We'll soon be paying for things with chickens and goats. Mind you , the way the USD has faired the last few years I'd rather sweep my profits in the form of chickens and goats.

    must be nice having a deep cookie-jar to go running to, the fed window (in case of emergencies), at damned-nears free rates, and now there's talk of 'making it permanant'...hell, if they can't make maoney trading when they borrow it for next to free...
