*Spike, I'll be damned if I understand the point you're trying to make. The
money  the government will need to keep tens of millions of Americans from
starving to death, because they are no longer employed or employable, will
come from exactly the same place that this government and every other
government has always used to get money, through taxes and the printing
press. And as long as the speed of their printing press is not greater than
the speed of productivity increase, and as long as at least 4 of the 7
governors at the Federal Reserve are not blithering idiots, then inflation
will not be a problem. *
