Doesn't mean one beast might not devour the other, but a beast cometh, that's for sure!  You can only dick with the system so far before it does what it wants despite meddling to the contrary!

There is still a dispute?  Assets that require credit to purchase will continue to fall. Assets purchased with case will continue to rise.  The fed is already buying 60% of those bonds just to make each auction look successful, and thus keeping interest rates down, despite the fact that these bonds have a negative return when compare with actual inflation. The whole thing is a fake now - just life support kept for appearances.

You say that like it is a bad thing!  People (morons) only want happy happy thoughts!

All of that money what to do?

Neutralize it

The researchers claim it could allow DIYers to detect studs within walls, or allow businesses to detect counterfeit money. ...

Or give it to Obama Brownshirts!

It's not necessary for the machine to be functional, just little red and green lights
and maybe a dial gauge for show.  Pass them out to banks and show them how to
operate the machine.  Or, if there is a bank he doesn't like use it on them.

'Ladies and gentlemen and all American subjects, as you know we have been fighting
third world counterfeiters for years.  But ah ah a catastrophe has occurred and possibly
billions of fraudulent dollars have been dumped into our economy.  Rest assured the
Secret Service and the CIA are hot on their tail er trail and they will soon be
apprehended.  In the meantime we have developed a device to detect these fraudulent
dollars and separating them from you legal tender will be a minor inconvenience.
Thank you and good night.'[/blockquote]
