Quantitative easing whereby newly printed notes are handed over to banks in the expectation that bank lending will be revived does nothing to solve the main problem of banking namely defaulting borrowers. The fiscal solution to defaulting borrowers involves giving an annual $1500 housing benefit to all United States citizens in reduction of their toxic bank overdrafts where appropriate, these toxic debts will then cease to be toxic.

How far are the FED prepared to go with the value of the Dollar? Have they any contingency plan if there is a sale on the Dollar? What do they determine to be long enough at this ploy and how long will the pullback period be. Are they going to indicate when this will start? They have to outline the precautions.

So let me get this straight…using credit card to pay up another credit card is insanity, but borrowing more money to pay up for the excess of printed money which caused inflation is an asnwer? I am so confused that i don’t even know where to go to clear my mind anymore. The fed, the central banks, and all its staff members are already free people because they have the power to decide to make money out of nothing, but we don’t? I think that’s a double standard. It’s like, canadian or american soldiers can go to war and kill innocent people and not be condemned for it, but if they kill an innocent person or a lying devious politician, banker, economist one gets the maximum sentence, lmfao!!! This is just hilarious
