Great post PP, could I add or expand on something you mentioned for the sake of good discussion concerning the Fed and printing of fiat money. We have created a society with the younger generation that relies on plastic to do everything. How much more cash has the Fed been able to repurpose or hide from the balance sheet because of credit card use. Ralph Epperson's book The Unseen Hand was an eye opener for me. Hopefully we as a Nation never have to return to the "barter system", but if we do how many bullets and seeds may i get for an iPhone 11 with selfie stick?
