The Fed is in perpetual kick-the-can mode. Greenspan played the equivalent of QE, but it wasn't apparent as rates started from a much higher figure. Bernanke is a much worse offender as it's done nothing outside of the perception that the QE is spurring growth. Home builds are far beyond natural demand. This is Soros' reflexivity in action.......... the perception of QE is an order of magnitude greater than the efficacy. It's a de facto bailout of the money-center banks, that's all.
