...house as an unpaid caretaker. He borrowed some money to buy a dilapidated minibus. Ferrying kids to and from school brought him a meager $10 a day, but it was better than living off handouts from cousins in Damascus.

The couple were happy their children Ibrahim, 5, and Sajda, 4, would be able to grow up "as Iraqis, not as refugees," Shada says...

No Federal Reserve chairman will ever let that happen again, so we probably shouldn't worry too much about bread lines and Hoovervilles in the near future. But the money supply is a blunt instrument, one that comes nowhere near addressing all of today's problems.
