what you sayabout inflation and printing money - of course is not drivel.
however theres such thing as priming the pump.

I guess the problem is, there's more water priming the pump, than the pump is pumping.'

Yep....and theres the monetarist/thatcherite alternative, you blow the pump up, let the drawer of water become an urban casualty of unemployment and hard drugs and daytime television - and import cheap water from China .....

as a long term policy, I think it leaves a lot to be desired.
