The consequences are staggering IF this is true.

1. I believed that was already debunked. (nt)

8. I hope so!

Because it would be an unmitigated disaster.

2. I tend not to believe articles with exclamation points in them

Editor's Note: On 3/28/06 we published an article which stated that the Federal Reserve has ordered 2 Trillion dollars to be printed by U.S. mints. We mistakenly published this text instead of the one we meant to publish (below) from Free Market News. The report on the Fed's printing of 2 Trillion Dollars is not adequately supported with sources and supporting factual information. Therefore we pulled that article today, March 29, 2006 and replace it with the article we meant to publish. We apologize to our readers for this error on our part. - LMB

3. Google News search--find a credible source for this from these pickings?

I'm not buying it.

4. Heard the same story a couple of weeks ago.

Turned out false and was part of a sales pitch for gold.

5. Every story resulting from that Google search I did mentioned gold.

Co-inky-dinkies?

I think not...

11. There is a lot of gold pushing.

And it's all over. I don't understand it. There are always people pushing Gold hardcore. That said, I would be pretty well off if I bought some a couple years ago.

6. It's

embarrassing to post a link like that as news ben. However, in reality I'm sure they WISH they could print more $$$$$$$

7. They HAVE stopped publishing the M3 though...

One could speculate for a while on why, but since I'm not an economist I'll let others do that....

10. Follow the links on that article.

The original story was "not well supported" and pulled. Or something to that effect.
