LOL
Why not call it the printing money?

Because the printing money is the last refuge of failed economic empires and banana republics and the Fed doesn’t want to admit this is their only idea.

The value of the $ goes down, but the value of stocks go up because they are being measured in devalued money.

The endgame of quantitative easing, helps the 1% of people who own 38% of all stocks and the 19% who own 53% of all stocks. The other 80% of America own only 10% interest in the stock market. This is the reality: quantitative easing helps one out of five Americans.

the funny this is about "the Goldman Sachs".....so true, this company is the head of the mfn' snake, we need to kill it

The Fed can control the money supply but it cannot control where that money goes or even IF it goes anywhere at all.

Yet another example of putting an 'intellectual' in charge of a real world problem. We did it with the presidency, why not at the Fed as well?

Go back to government janitor work (aka climate change employment) or whatever it is you do that gives you Stockholm syndrome to the point that you advocate for your masters.

Wrong. Yes -- they can. They do.

If that were the case, lenders would be lending. They are not. If that were the case, consumers would be borrowing. They are not. Consumers are the problem, so unless the Fed can give us all a check for $50,000, QE II is barely gonna move the needle.
