Rove needs to get himself a dictionary. "Treasonous" does not solely refer to the crime of betraying one's country. It is also used in the more generic sense: to mean betrayal of trust. Merriam Webster says:

trea·son
noun \ˈtrē-zən\
Definition of TREASON
1 : the betrayal of a trust : treachery
2 : the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign's family

Printing more money would qualify as a betrayal of trust in my book.

The correct way to understand what Bernanke has been doing, would be as a from of theft by deception--a studied partial default on U. S. Government obligations, intended to fly under the radar screen of most people, who do not really understand money; but to systematically take value away from all who have claims in sums certain in dollars, to pay for the excesses of the Big Government projects in Washington.

Money, like every other factor in the economy, is governed by the Laws of Supply & Demand. The more they print, the less every dollar claim you have on anyone--public or private--is worth. Money is only a Medium of Exchange. It is our way of exchanging our goods or services for our use either now or in the future. Anything which prevents our getting full value--our full bargain--is certainly wrong, morally, practically, in every sense.

It was no accident that the Founding Fathers considered a sound currency so important; why they agreed that no State in the Union should make anything but gold or silver a medium for the discharge of debt. Believe it or not, Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Madison, Mason, et al., were a whole lot smarter than Karl Rove.

Bernanke follows soetoro´s lead, and the later is definitely a traitor. Thus....
