Beyond the gobbledegook, doesn’t this simply mean the Fed is going to print money as fast as possible?
Hyperinflation, here we come.

Is there any valid reason at all why Bernanke should't be hauled off in leg irons the minute Romney is sworn in as president?

Sorry, I do not see how buying mortgage bonds will improve the employment rate in any way

It won’t. This is nothing but giving Banksters guarantee that you the taxpayer will buy all the debt they create. Isn’t that wonderful.

If FedGov is just printing money why do I have to pay Federal Taxes? Just print what you want and leave me alone!

I know that the Federal Reserve is now the #1 holder of US treasury debt, but can someone please explain to me how it is that these "QE" events are supposed to stimulate the economy? I suppose that if the Fed is buying treasuries, then they're injecting $$$ directly into the government coffers, which gives the government more money to spend... While at the same time, bringing down the actual value of our dollars.
But how does that stimulate the private sector, or is it just the government spending that's supposed to spark increased private sector commerce?
I don't get it.

Yes, but it does not automatically mean hyperinflation. That's the theory, that we'll have hyperinflation - but we've gone through 2 rounds of QE printing so far and no hyperinflation yet.
This is basically permanent QE and my guess is it was designed to goose the markets even more and guarantee Obama's re-election. Unfortunately the sugar high will likely boost the markets to record highs and it will help Hussein. Soon after the election though people will figure out that Bernanke has nothing left and the markets will crash back to earth.

This is nothing but giving Banksters guarantee that you the taxpayer will buy all the debt they create. Any chance it's also about convincing them to keep writing mortgages after they're done forcing the credit rating agencies to apply race-based "adjustments" to credit ratings?

It's not supposed to. It's aimed at propping up the face value of mortgage securities comprised of mortgages on homes that aren't worth much anymore.
The whole purpose of this move is to bail out the institutional investors who thought they were buying AAA-rated mortgage-backed securities but learned the hard way that they were wrong.
