Posted by pallav on December 21, 2007, 3:28 pm When the Feds start injecting cash ($20 billion here, another $20 billion there etc), where is all this money coming from? In the long term, does this money even have any value? How can you just print money left and right without valuing it to something (say for instance a hard asset like gold)? Or are the Feds just loaning out today hoping the future generations will pay up for it? I don't understand how they can just loan out billons of dollars every week and now. Where can I read about this? Thanks for any information. Similar Threads Posted Places to put cash February 11, 2007, 9:43 am Retirement Cash Out...How BIG a Hit ???
