Casting pearls before swine my friend. Pearls before swine.The "Art contest" is actually not tied to the US Federal Government or the current administration in any way. Some marketing consultant schmuck is just trying to make headlines. The government has no plans to print $1,000 or $100,000 bills, or to print the currency presented in the article. We're actually concerned with deflation right now, not inflation. The M2 is forecast to be pretty flat for the next year, banks are holding capital and not making as many loans (therefor not expanding the money supply at a typical rate).
