Quote from kashirin:
US workers don't have any savings and those who have are severely punished by inflation and rates below inflation.
Fed doesn't care about economy or people. They care only about their friend from investments bans
Do you know how asanine that sounds? "The Fed doesn't care about the economy, they only care about their friends from the investment banks"? That is one of the most absurd things I've ever heard anybody say.
The last time I checked, the sucess of the investment banks depends on the economy. They are all intertwined. Only in a fantasy world can you separate them into their own little distinct non-correlated entities.
You sound like those conspiracists that also believe the only reason we went into Iraq is for oil.
Of freakn' course the Fed cares about the economy. Their jobs depend on how well they do. Their place in history depends on how well they are perceived to have done. They aren't out bailing out organizations because they are "buddy, buddy" with them. They are doing it because they perceive the failure to act as a greater risk than acting.
