No such thing as a free market.. fed says it will implement QE and not just implement but AGGRESSIVELY use QE to fight the next recession ....Remember there can be no recession on fed watch. If there is it can only last 37 days because the fed doesnt think economic cycles of ups and downs should exist, only ups!!!!! https://www.marketwatch.com/story/p...fight-next-recession-2020-02-12?mod=home-page
Why not start now. Just load everyone's bank accounts with 500k. Free prepaid debit cards for everyone.
The US gov't cannot afford any slowdown in economic activity/tax receipts....the debts are simply too large at this point, and servicing them will become a massive problem in an economic downturn. The Fed mandate is now to go firehose with QE.....the only way it will stop is if the world finally screams "enough" and the USD gets smashed a treasury yields rip higher. At the point, the Fed will act like a drunk who had his "come to Jesus" moment, and will swear that a new monetary regime is here and no more QE. Until something breaks, I expect nuclear levels of QE.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Why give the markets a boost with QE when they can spend trillions upon trillions handing everyone hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend on goods and services. GDP does make up 70% of consumer spending. Genius idea, $500,000!!!
But when is enough enough. I mean how many times are they going to bail out this already in debt country with more debt. Equities keep surging with no end in site to slow down. Something is very wrong here.
So if you give 200 mil Americans half a mil, it would cost 100 trillion. Doesn't that devalue the dollar?
Pffffft....fine will give $50,000 worth $10 trillion!!! And if it devalues the dollar so what....there is no such thing as economics 101 when the fed rules.
What's the statute of limitation on collecting on a loan? Thinking of borrowing and bailing to one of these so called "shit hole" countries. At zero percent, hell I may even pay it?
