As a metaphor for our troubled economic and financial era -- and the government's stumbling response -- this one's hard to beat. You can't stimulate the economy via the money supply, after all, if you can't print the money correctly

When one performs a task too quickly, the chance of making a mistake increases considerably.

That's a misnomer. because the Fed isn't the government, and the printing presses, I believe, are owned by the Fed, since it's their notes

But it is what we use as currency, maybe it's time to relieve the Fed of their duties.

Mistakes can be made during the printing of anything. In and of itself, that's no big deal.

What IS a big deal is that there were over a BILLION one hundred dollar bills printed before the problem was discovered.

Amateurs.

We shouldn't even be printing that money, and the cost to do it, 12 cents per bill is it, and it's worthless. Good job, Obummer, good job.
