But failing tariffs then were are the Dean Baker stimulus suggestions (where the Fed buys the Treasuries debt so as to pump up the infrastructure) being ignored? Either devalue the currency by blasting a lot of money into the hands of the working class or do the rebated tariffs. Pick one.<br /><br />And where is the complete takeover of Freddie and Fannie and a reasonable award of cash to the current bond holders amounting to a proper loss for them. After all, any interest on mortgages is good for the Treasury and any losses don't really matter because the Fed can never go broke.<br /><br />We are all pretending that fiat money has intrinsic value. It doesn't. You use it to pay taxes. That is why it is valuable.TheTruckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346127768102862741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4900303239154048192.post-86300984207012955632010-09-25T13:32:01.950-04:002010-09-25T13:32:01.950-04:00Where are the rebated import duties???
