Printing a trillion new dollars would help some of the problem now, but with that additional money saturating the market, wouldn't the inflation rate suddenly spike?

Note: the one vote on the second choice has to be 3D. I know he's an honest person, and he has articulated this position many times.

It makes the dollar even weaker. And yes, inflation is one of the fears whenever you print more money.

Although, yes, that would be my choice...of the 2 simplified choices listed. I guess that lone vote aint so lonely anymore.

Just read the posts on this site. The liberals want to put people in jail and print new money. The conservatives don't want people to go to jail for making bad business decisions, just be spanked by the invisible hand, and let the markets and people working for their own best interests to do their natural work getting us out of this economic slump.
Which side is more scary?
