Alan Greenspan 1966 “But the U.S government has a technology, called a printing press…......that allows it to produce as many U.S. dollars as it wishes at essentially no cost….. We conclude that, under a paper-money system, a determined government can always generate higher spending and hence positive inflation.” Governor Ben S. Bernanke, Before the National Economists Club, Washington, D.C. November 21, 2002
