Customer Quote by Robert A. Wiedemer
““since the creation of the U.S. Federal Reserve almost a century ago, we have printed roughly $800 billion from 1913 to 2007. But in 2013, the Fed printed more new money than that in just one year (see Figure 1.1) and will likely do the same in 2014. That’s more money printing in one year than in nearly 100 years!””
