this is one thing i've never understood about inflation and money-printing.
everyone knows saying HAY LETS PRINT MOAR MONEYS is bad news. hasn't that been sort of theoretical constant since we were first taught about the germans and their wheelbarrows full of cash following ww1?
how about...
here it comes.
this might be a really dumb question.
how about
we just DON'T print more money?
i see it sort of like
"oh shit man there is some crap going on with the banks"
"what do we do?"
"well, i could hit my head against this rusty nail"
"YEA LETS DO IT"
....
i've always been told that printing money, especially as a way to avoid recession or whatever the reason is... is a bad thing and leads to a comical-state of worthless bills used as various sanitary-devices, fuel for warmth as everyone gets evicted, and for writing funny devil moustaches on.
so why is the first choice for fixing everything. PRINT TEH MONIESS ZOMG
