Should the government print more money to support the stockmarket?

Quote from psytrade:
The Gov't printing money to pump up the stock market is like hiring homeless people to fill up mcdonalds and eat all their burgers so they can stay busy.
Eventually, people are going to notice the smell.
People already know, Yet few if any will do anything besides yelp.....

Yeah that would be great! Imagine printing and circulating more money that would crate inflation and as a result stocks would have to go up so we would all have huge profits. Of course those profits would just make up the extra we need to pay for that loaf of bread. BTW we do have inflation in case you did not realize it. That loaf of bread used to cost 1.50 not too long ago, and is now almost $4. (or am i getting old already?)
yep bread is about $3.59-$4.00 depending on if it's whole grain etc etc, you can get the cheap white bread store brand for $1.50....but I would rather pass.
Prices at the stores have gone up quite a bit and the other thing I noticed over the years is that as price moves higher the quantity drops, I have noticed this with ice cream, yogurt, cereal, etc, etc. You can easily spend $100 without a problem today.
Looks to me like the government did prop up the stock market yesterday.
How else can you explain a 180 point rise in the Dow in the final two hours of trading? How convenient that not only did the day manage to close with a gain, but the week closed above the psychologically important 10000 mark.
Look at it another way. The stock market and the US dollar have had a very strong negative correlation for over a year. Yesterday the US dollar gained over half a percent. So what did the stock market do? It went up, of course!
Now don't get the idea that I'm someone who got caught short when the PPT came in and now I'm griping about it. I don't day trade, nor have I had any short stock positions whatsoever since last summer. Nor am I someone who buys into 911 and Area 51 conspiracy theories. But when I see something like yesterday that works with such a perfect setup, I have to wonder if it worked so perfectly because it was engineered that way.

The question assumes governments always are fully in control of stock markets and can inflate them at will, purely at the push of a button. If that were the case why is the Nikkei 20 years after it peaked out still 75% below its peak?
Maybe they didnt try hard enough.
The government doesn't print money.
Ben Bernanke does.
Ben Bernanke does.
of course its engineered... but its not the goverment that does it... its aliens.. they are ready to invade and to fund the invasion they are buying low and selling high...Quote from bettles:
