“How much more money can they print???”

Well, if you substitute printing $100 bills for $1 bills, you can expand the money supply rather rapidly. I still have a $50 billion Deutsche-mark postage stamp put out by Germany in the 1920’s. If they were paying 50 billion just for a postage stamp, imagine what a pound of meat, shoes, a car or house cost.

I believe that in 1920's Germany that if you tried to buy toilet paper with paper money, you ended up with fewer # of sheets of paper.

Better to wipe your a$$ with the money.
