"We would do better to set this money on fire rather than using it to keep these dying firms on life support"

That is probably the best quote I've read in a very long time.

It's so true.

Yes, you would be doing better by torching the money. You'd restrain inflation slightly.

You better not be thinking of closing the money hole. People like throwing money into the hole. It's an American Tradition.
