"As a Canadian I am puzzled why more US citizens are not up in arms about this??? "

...because CNN tells them the it's all in their best interest

....that Geithner and Bernanke are heroes saving everyone from a great depression

....that the rest of the world is too stupid to realize that printing all this money is not a good thing

....that the Russians and Chinese are still buying up all the U.S. treasuries they can.....wink wink

....that the low price of gold tells them that their dollar is still strong

....that another trillion is just....well just another trillion

...that the price of oil is down from $147/bbl therefore we have no energy problem

....that there is no inflation (if you exclude gasoline, food and housing)

....all I can say is

don't drink the koolade
