This article is spot on...talks about how Japan has tried numerus times to spit growth in their economy by stimulating it and barely getting any results....also mentions the 2009 $830 billion dollar spending package here in the US and $3.7 trillion dollar printing scheme that has yet to push GDP above 3% since the financial crisis......money printing does not work....simple as that....take away all those worthless trillions and the US GDP would be lucky to be above MINUS 3%-4% !!! http://www.cnbc.com/2016/08/02/investors-to-central-banks-we-arent-listening-anymore.html
I don't know if you meant to say it or not, but saying we would be lucky to be above minus 3% or 4% without all the printed money, basically means the "printed money" has worked (giving us +2%). But, I know what you mean...all this worthless paper is going to lead to a disaster and I'm tired of it as well! Good article.
Seriously. Want to stimulate the economy? Heres an idea, quit letting psychopaths run it into the mud. Quit hiring from the swingers club and hire some policy makers that actually have two brain cells to rub together.
Pretty sure we were all predicting a disaster on this since 2008/9. I know I lost some money going short interest rates until I gave up around 2012. At some point you've got to admit you just might be wrong.
