An ominous reminder of what caused the crash preceding the great depression.

I'm skeptical. The author says that they're dumping oodles of twenties into circulation. I had been assuming that they were doing this, while taking older bills out of circulation.

While I may be wrong, and she may be right, she provided no reason for me to believe this. She expressed her opinion, but did not back it up.
