"Hey Willie! They just told us to print up ANOTHER trillion!" In a year or two I'll retire and start marketing wheelbarrows to help people go grocery shopping. I'll offer two models, the basic Weimar Republic model, and the deluxe Mugabe-Zimbabwe model, offering genuine elephant-hide wrapped handles. Perhaps recession which only impacts a minority of the population (albeit painfully) is a better alternative than eventual hyper-inflation, which will impact everyone?
