A Trillion Bottles of Beer on the Wall, a Trillion Bottles of Beer

Today, Fed Chairman Bernanke said they are going to monetize $85B of US Federal Debt every month for as long as it takes. That works out to a bit more than $1T of worthless, printed money a year, handed out by whoever is in power in Washington, DC.

Naahhhh, that's not corrosive to civic health.  Not at all.

Oil the printing presses! We're saved!

Update: Fellow SLOB WC Varones points out that they're not really printing all $85B. They are printing $40B and continuing Operation Twist to the tune of $45B a month. Operation Twist is where they sell short-term bonds and buy long-term bonds.
