He was previously the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Storm coming: By John Schroy, on August 13th, 2009 |  3 comments  When the government spends much more than it takes in, inflation results. The Obama administration is spending a lot more that it should. In fact, Congressional authorization for deficit spending is now at historic levels. Will Americans paper their walls with dollar bills when inflation hits? So far, most Congressional authorizations have not been disbursed. But as spending budgets are executed, inflation should kick in.

In contrast, the Obama “reforms” are being concocted in secret to be rushed through the Pelosi-Reid Congress, already famous for passing substantial legislation in the dark of night, without reading the text. Historically, slap-dash, one-party ‘reforms’ have not survived a Congress controlled by the other party.

Central bankers? IMF officials? College professors? The answer is ‘none of the above’. In an open, global economy, the world reserve currency is determined by the judgment of millions of importers and exporters in many countries. The world reserve currency is decided by consensus and the personal decisions of exporters as to what currency they will accept for their goods. On this basis, it’s too early to count the dollar out.
