Those Treasury printing presses ::

Sometimes, the TV news oversimplifies events without venturing anywhere past the surface. The truth remains obscured.

Lately, it seems that every time I catch a TV news story about the financial crisis, it’s illustrated with stock footage of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing presses churning out reams of bills.

Sometimes, the TV news manages to capture the essence of events with a single image.

(It’s hard to find pictures of those rolling printing presses online! But I like this one even better, taken in Oct. 2006, when Paulson examined a new series of $20 notes bearing his signature for the first time. AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)
