If you allow your politicians to print money you need only to look in 
the mirror to find the source of the problem!

Germany in the 1930s is the classic example.  You could get more heat
burning inflated Deutchmarks than by burning the coal you could by with 
them.

I've noticed that there is no longer anything that you can buy for a 
penny!  When I was young you could buy candy or chewing gum for a penny, 
or a pack of matches.

God help us!
