If the world economy enters a downdraft, Steven Englander, global head
of G-10 FX strategy at Citigroup Inc., proposes a more revolutionary
response, akin to the "helicopter money" once advocated by Milton
Friedman. In what he calls "cold fusion," politicians would cut taxes
and boost spending. Central banks would then cover the resulting
increase in borrowing by purchasing more bonds as part of a commitment
to permanently expand their balance sheets. The easier fiscal policy
would be covered by QE Infinity.'' -- Wow, sheer insanity... this is the
sort of thing only "tin foil hatters" could suggest a couple years ago,
in warning of what the governments would be forced to do... and now here it is, in "respectable" type...
