I thought QE was already shut off as allegedly having completed its mission of rebooting the economy, which has allegedly fully recovered (as allegedly demonstrated by the normal unemployment rate), and the fed is allegedly raising interest rates back to normal in a very gradual, conservative manner as final proof that the recovery is complete.

If so, then Obama, through Yellen and the fed (or vice versa), is reluctant to return to QE since it would constitute a tacit admission that his economic policies have done no good (ie, that Obama’s economic policies have failed).

If so, either Obama/Yellen seemingly have to restart QE, especially considering that the election is coming up and the Democrats want to be able to point to the economy as a reason for continuing the Democratic hold over the presidency via Clinton.

Maybe the FBI is waiting for a big dip in the economy to let the boom fall on Hillary. If so, then Obama will have his hands full fighting the economic bad news, and pardoning Hillary on political grounds under such circumstances would have a hollow ring to it.

The headline alone let’s everyone know they live in the middle of a big giant Ponzi Scheme. The very idea that in order for there to be “economic Growth” everyone must borrow is ludicrous, and only shows how dumb Americans have gotten regarding our Fraudulent Monetary System.

Debt used properly is why I’m financially independent today.
