“No. You can keep the money supply within certain bounds.”

It’s out of control - deficit spending and borrowing.

T-Bills create money out of thin air.

Artificially low interest rates create money out of thin air.

Why do you think the dollar is sinking?

If you miss the bounds, then it is inflation and you are causing the boom-bust cycle.

And men cannot know what the money supply should be on the market.
