While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Republican (fascist/socialist) President George W. Bush signs the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, providing 168,000,000,000 “dollars” in Federal income tax rebate checks to be mailed directly to U.s. subject/enemy/citizens beginning in ten weeks.

       Postscript: As these checks were being distributed the “dollar” took an unexpected drop against the value gasoline and food prices, which probably nullified any intended economic benefits.

       Question: Were Bush’s ostensibly “free-market” economic advisors so naive as to believe that an increase in the money supply without an accompanying increase in goods and services would not result in inflation (depreciation of the Federal Reserve Note)?
