The Fed has no choice but to raise interest rates and crush the market

Leftists tell us ad nauseum that aggregate demand must be stimulated or we're all done for. Gov't must borrow and spend, fed must stimulate with more money, kitchen sink stuff to make sure that the deflation they dread doesn't happen. Because if it does, people may put off consuming. They're terrified of this. Their economic plan can be summed up in one word. Stimulate.

Next move over to their scare mongering scam on global warming. Lots of new articles coming out to warn try to terrify us. Here's an excerpt from one, but they all say the same thing:

"Humanity's rapacious growth and accelerated energy needs over the last generation — particularly fed by an economic system that demands increasing levels of consumption and inputs of natural resources — are fast driving planetary systems towards their breaking point, according to a new pair of related studies."


So they're hell bent to make us consume and then they tell us that consumption is at the tipping point and it's going to kill us. While they're attempting to usurp control over every aspect of your life, they hope we're all to stupid to notice the entirety of their arguments is nothing but a hodge-podge of lies and contradictions.

That isn't necessarily accurate. Hard assets can continue to appreciate in value vs. currencies, even with everyone devaluing.

I think that we are going to see the fed start off loading some of its multi Trillion dollar balance sheet into this rally in bonds. Right now there is a huge flight to safety, and a huge demand for the U.S. dollar going on, and i think that the federal reserve must realise that this is going to be their only chance to have a market for all of the bonds bought during QE. We have hit the wall with QE. Look out below for the stock market.

What do you guys think?

I think that central banks are slowly, but surely, realizing that their past policies aren't what they were cracked up to be. You've got the Swiss removing the plug to the Euro because they can't afford to keep it up, and they're worried about going down with the Euro ship. You've got the Fed insisting that data is good (when it isn't) enough to begin to look at raising rates. Partly because they've realized that QE didn't really do all it was meant to do and partly because they want to get rates up enough so when the next recession hits (which they believe is close) they need to be able to drop rates to "help". They're boxed in. There's now even murmurs in the Bank Of Japan that all of the negative aspects of of QE that they've been doing is actually causing more harm than good and they need to dial it back.

This is the problem with running "emergency" actions for so long that you forget they were supposed to be temporary.

CBs are screwed, and they know it.

All of this is assuming (which is a giant leap, in my opinion) that CBs weren't about wealth transfer to the rich in the first place. If you believe that, well, then QE worked fantastically.
