Inflation is sure to follow.  Next we will start seeing Jimmy Carter type interest rates.

I don't know why the socialists are ignoring this inevitable result.  I was watching "The Georgia Gang" this morning (it's a local interest talking-heads program focused primarily on local politics in Georgia) and the token leftist on the program made a serious remark "we'll just have to print more money" when one of the conservative panelists was talking about how long we as a nation will be in debt due to this "stimulus plan" of The ONE.

They just don't get it.
