The declaration of Independence IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. http://www.ushistory.org/declaration/document/index.htm
QE2 will have not much of an effect on the over all economy, the fed has done everything possible, the longer they keep rates at 0% and the printing press running at full speed the higher inflation will go. Millions out of work while consumer goods rise, something is wrong with this picture. Consumers are still very over leveraged while wages and incomes go absolutely no where, median wages are not doing well either. This economy is bankrupt.
The Federal Open Market Committee, the U.S. central bank's monetary policy-setting body, will meet Nov. 2-3. Investors have been on edge over talk of a second round of quantitative easing, parsing both economic data and market chatter because of the potential wide-ranging impact. The Fed has said it was prepared to put more money into the economy if needed to stimulate the recovery and avoid deflation, a process known as quantitative easing (QE). QE effectively requires the Fed to print more money, thus increasing supply and keeping interest rates at low levels. That in turn makes the U.S. dollar less desirable as investors receive less yield for holding the greenback.
Not true necessarily. Unless money velocity increases where is the inflation? Idle money causes no inflation. First deflation, Great Depression 2, then inflation.
Agreed 100%. But what is the alternative here? In my eyes the alternative is disastrous, but the Fed is just continuing this gigantic facade.
Austrian Economics is the alternative. Let the system reset. Capitalism, like life, is cyclical. Things will get bad first before they get better. C'mon can you honestly tell me things are better? All of this stimulus has done if forestall the inevitable. You will see the real economy soon.
