Sub 2% means recession. Although the Bernank probably fears running QE3 will not stop a coming recession, he'll probably just say, "fuk it, let's see what happens."

If true to form, we will hear the impending start of QE3 at least a half dozen times before the official announcement. Expect "rumors" of it, like clockwork on any severe intra-day declines, so as to squeeze into the close. Any other "draconian" measures will also be rumored on those quiet mid-day declines as well.

Centrally planned markets/economies at their finest.

Quote from Martinghoul:

There will be no QE3...

Won't be called that of course, but do you still honestly believe that the fed will not ease?

Unless the Eurozone situation gets a lot worse, I still do honestly believe that they won't.

Everyone can see these Central Bank injections do not work, they do-not help the citizens of this nation. They only help investment banks, as they siphon off all the capital and use it for bonus pools.

Quote from noob_trad3r:

How come they keep increasing the money supply but you dont see a corresponding increase in velocity of money?

And you keep seeing a growing amount of money from banks being stored at the federal reserve?

Any one know why? why is it just being stored away.

it's not being stored away it's being destroyed.When loan are paid off the money that pays the principle doesn't exist anymore.

âMoney is created when loans are issued and debts incurred, money is extinguished when loans are repaidâ.

John B Henderson, Senior Specialist in Price Economics, Congressional Research Service, The Library of Congress stated:

"If all the bank loans were paid, no one could have a bank deposit, and there would not be a dollar of coin or currency in circulation. This is a staggering thought. We are completely dependent on the commercial banks. Someone has to borrow every dollar we have in circulation, cash, or credit. If the banks create ample synthetic money we are prosperous; if not, we starve. We are absolutely without a permanent money system. When one gets a complete grasp of the picture, the tragic absurdity of our hopeless situation is almost incredible -- but there it is."

Robert Hemphill. Credit Manager, Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta
In the foreword to a book by Irving Fisher, entitled 100% Money (1935)

âThat is what our money system is. If there were no debts in our money system, there wouldnât be any money.â

Marriner S. Eccles, Chairman and Governor of the Federal Reserve Board

more $ in loans are being repaid then $ created = decrease in money supply

Untrue.

What about equity that puts money into the economy. Also if people did not lend money they would have money to spend themselves.

When people put money into the bank the people who borrow it need it so they will spend it faster than the lenders. This increases the speed of the transactions in the economy leading to prosperity.

All the banking system does is provide a way for people to get installments of cash in the future in exchange for a current investment payment that is either spent on the means of production or consumption. There are other means of doing that.

The big problem is that the money lent to people has been spent on consumption not investment and the people no longer have the money to repay it as it was not used to generate more wealth. The banking system WILL crash when the borrowers fail to make the repayments.
