They haven’t just crossed the Rubicon, they are laying siege to the city.

Where are Brutus, Cassius and Casca when we need them?

Since the presses are already running, why not $100 TRILLION?

I guess we don’t have a free market economy.

This is what, $300B injected into the economy in just 2 months? Hello, inflation! (I have a mortgage, might as well embrace it!)

My take on all this is that the Wall Street masters of the universe all had their multi-million dollar paydays during the party and now the Fed is stepping up to pay the bar tab. Somebody is getting screwed here - and my instincts say it is us!

Well the government’s answer to everything is to throw more money at it...even apparently if the problem is too much money.

Allot of assets have simply “disappeared” over the past several months. This action of the Fed is not going to have an impact on inflation. We should be grateful we have Bernake as Fed Chairman. Greenspan would do anything until wew were in a deep recession. Greenspan was way over-rated.

Not at all.

That is a myth.

Your instincts are deadly accurate.

But, but, but, but.... this is impossible. The Federal reserve does not create money and give it to wall street. You said so, and here they are doing another $100B of it. What’s up? Was the Fed lying or were you lying?
