2012 United States Presidential Election

Short answer is yes, long answer is maybe. If more money is need it can be just printed ( Uncle Sam's assets and values can't really be measured and most of America's debt is infact owned by the American people, Social Security and whatnot) of course it means higher inflation but since the US dollar is a World standard, do you think they really care? They are after the oil and all this is just to ensure that they get it. Petroleum is integrated into every aspect of our society, not just gas (simple things such as plastic, shampoo and everything you can possibly think of is basically connected to oil). Yes there is a ton of money that is flowing too damn loosely but who really is counting, who can be held accountable, who is the one going to enforce it. Answer to all those questions is the Government.

We can't in fact just keep printing money because it devalues our dollar. If we suddenly start printing trillions of more dollars, speculators will worry and our economy might slump further.

I'm not saying that it will happen indefinitely but it has happened and just recently too. Yes it does reduce the value of the US dollar, hence the word inflation. Just stating it has and always been an option.

@ Rockmanj: it has been political comedy hour for quite a while now. I don't know whether to cry endlessly or laugh. It's saddening to think one of these guys can be in charge of your future, it's a very scary thought.
