Do you blame the big Colombian cocaine sellers
or the average street dealer in US city
FED is like the mega mafia
Congress is like dealers.
They all need to hang

Quote from FrostBead:
Don't blame the Fed, blame congress. What has been the explicit aim of the QEs?
If it is to provide growth - then no it has not provided enough growth to justify the levels of currency debasement.
BUT, if it is to avoid volatile debt and default of various assets - that has been avoided. When people say that the US should let the market correct - how much do they expect slashed spending to subtract from GDP? The immediate weight of the debt will be felt even harder if they slash spending. Sustainability is not reached through sinking the boat now.
I don't think QE solves the fiscal problem, but it gives price stability given the huge debt vowen into the system. The expansionary policy is better today than contractionary ones.
Government is still running a 1 trn USD deficit annually and that will be met with big ass number expansion of the Fed balance shiit. 0.02$
