Dear Ben

Dear Ben, Please Make Us Trillionaires | ZeroHedge: "Dear Ben,

Please make us trillionaires. Just the sound of it! It's beautiful, Ben. But without your help, we'll never get there. So, at your meeting next week, think about us. Because the way you make trillionaires is by printing money.

Maybe not everybody can be a trillionaire. But that's OK. The rest of us will have the pleasure of walking around with millions in our pockets. Remember Turkey, late 1990s. It was awesome, Ben. You have no idea. Everybody was a millionaire. Even the poor. The entire middle class consisted of billionaires. And there were some trillionaires too.

...

Printing money works, Ben. History has proven that. So don't back off now just because some presidential candidates call you nasty things. Look at Turkey. It worked wonderfully. Over New Year's in 2005, the government even revaluated the lira. At 1,000,000 lira to 1 "new lira." And poof, all the millionaires were once again poor.... Oh wait, that's a bad example. But there must be a good example out there, somewhere. I'll get back to you on that. Meanwhile, keep at it, Ben."
