Welcome to the economics channel editable page
chat here from your web browser (though a better irc client is strongly recommended): http://www.mibbit.com/chat/?server=irc.freenode.net&channel=%23%23economics
Questions to be asking (or answering if you know!):
- How much new money will the Fed create with this latest $800B commitment? Is the Treasury going to unwind the supplemental account that's been offsetting the new money created so far? If there will be new money, how inflationary will that be?
- Who's so credit worthy they can sell US Treasury CDS?
