 he's literally what the government spends on

also, central bankers are getting too much flak. They just regulate the flow of cash and create/destroy currency as and when needed to control inflation.
these bastard politicians who set fiscal policy is what causes the problem. the CB's only do one thing, not saying they aren't influenced by the fiscal policy,  but when it's enforced because it wins votes "eveyone gets a stimmy check" the CB has to print. 

IMO US CB is cooked, why print $7 trillion unjustified production, without the actual production. True central bankers (in other countries) would have averaged it out, maybe only printing $2 trillion to stimulate stagnation. 

7 trillion is a lot, imo was a cash grab more than anything else, with everyone else paying for it.

America, ladies and gentlemen - hasn't changed since world war one.
