You can't find any GDP stats at the Fed's site either.

There is no point in comparing the two. The optimal rate is different in the two economies.

quote: Originally posted by Colon quote: Another point is that you can have a larger money supply with a smaller output and not have inflation. When people start spending you can decrease the money supply. Rephrase please.

You can also raise rates to prevent inflation when the economy starts to grow again. So the money supply doesn't necessarily cause inflation.

quote: Originally posted by Colon Credit availability isn't the sole determinant of growth.

Ok, then why not have the banks charge the same interest rate for loans and increase the credit availability. Sorry, that won't work.

Yes, you have already showed us the growth in the money supply. Unfortunately I have showed you that the increased money supply has not caused you economy to grow.

Doing wonders in getting rid of the excesses properly, instead of shuffling them along.
