Actually Tom is right.

When the fed prints/create/manufactures money it dilutes the currencies 
worth.  In fact, depreciates the currencies value.  A fancy way to say the 
government isn't paying it's bills in a way that does not foster inflation. 
Canadians will also feel this pinch shortly as commercial asset backed paper 
is in liquidity trouble.  The Canadian version of the fed did the same, 
manufacture money.  Not a good thing.  The reason for the liquidity problem 
is that interest rates are artificially low when compared to inflation and 
risk.

Until interest rates hit 10% I doubt this cycle will abate.

But I do have faith in the USA, just needs a kick in the ass once and awhile 
to wake it up.  Sort of like Pearl Harbor.
