“””REP. RYAN: It seems to me that the argument here is that the intention of QEII is what we ought to be focusing on because the intention is to bring rates down through economic growth, and therefore, the intention is what should matter here. But this is debt monetization. So isn’t that really a distinction without a difference?
MR. BERNANKE: No, sir. If monetization would involve a permanent increase in the money supply to basically pay the government’s bills through money creation, what we’re doing here is a temporary measure, which will be reversed so that at the end of this process, the money supply will be normalized. The amount of the Fed’s balance sheet will be normalized and that there will be no permanent increase either in money outstanding, in the Fed’s balance sheet or in inflation.”””
