This is a superb idea. Absolutely marvelous. We should do it now. In fact, I think it would be better if we really stimulated the economy and gave everyone a weekly check for some modest amount...say, $10,000. Yes, that's every week.

Please note the lack of sarcasm.

However....I'm betting on gold and other commodities going up and the dollar going down. So I'm biased. Still, what's best for me is unlikely to be good for the country.

I recall a certain nation in Europe using hyperinflation, thus wiping out the savings of almost everyone. That didn't end well.
