As if by magic...

... Da Fed makes $1,000,000,000,000 appear out of thin air.

Saying that the recession continues to deepen, the U.S. Federal Reserve announced Wednesday that it would pump an extra $1 trillion into the economy by buying mortgage-backed securities and long-term Treasury issues.

Poof!

Wall Street seemed to love this idea.  Swell - I suppose.

Until a pack of gum costs $20, of course.
