Monetary policy can but viewed in its two forms: expansionary and contractionary. Expansionary policy increases the total money supply (liquidity) and is used to fight unemployment or recessionary pressures, mainly by lowering interest rates. Direct cash infusions to struggling private institutions or government rebates to individuals can be used as emergency measures to avoid panic runs on banks as was seen in the 1929 market crash. These measures are very dangerous and are considered highly inflationary and destabilizing to currency exchange rates. Economic theory would indicate that such uncontrolled printing of money, indicates failure of fiscal policy (which refers to government borrowing, spending, and taxation).
Contractionary policy is used to control inflation by raising interest rates. A "perfect storm" scenario would be when a government "should be" using a contractionary policy and resorts to an expansionary policy.

The world is very critical of the monetary policy of the United States and is punishing it by devaluing its currency.

The most difficult of movements would be to be upside down, back wards, and rotating in fluid motion. Such movements are seen in aerial trapeze, stunt aircraft flying, sky diving, and in all of extreme sport events, as skateboarding, snowboarding, BMX, Inline Rollerblading, and Motocross. It is not understood how the human mind can control the body in real-time with such precision in 3-D motion. The amount of mathematical computations to achieve such movements of an amorphous mass as the human body in real-time is astronomical.
