Economists Expect Fed to Deliver QE3 and More Next Week

A wide range of economists expect the Federal Reserve to restart balance-sheet-expanding bond buying in a bid to spark better growth rates, amid other, lesser stimulus options.

For most forecasters, the release Friday morning of tepid-at-best August hiring data essentially seals the deal that when the central bank ends its two-day monetary-policy meeting next Thursday, it will in some fashion offer fresh stimulus to the economy. The way economists see it, comments by core central bank officials, most notably Chairman Ben Bernanke‘s speech a week ago, make some form of action very likely....

Printing money to buy stocks to keep the prices high looks good on paper, but it is just theft. Instead of taxing you to your face, they dilute your money away.

This is Zimbabwe economics.

[Printing money to buy stocks to keep the prices high looks good on paper, but it is just theft.]

Yep. Not only is the currency diluted - but the liquid supply is used by HFT Pirates and the like to manipulate commodity prices.

We’ll feel this at the pump and grocery checkout line.

Both sides appear to be in “deer in headlights” mode.

I think America’s character is going to be tested like never before.

Its the easiest way to spread the wealth around.

The Government spends money on its favorite groups and inflation insures the people who have been responsible and saved money pay for it.

I wish more Americans understood this. Inflation is theft at a grand scale.

I expect it, but I don’t know how I will afford $5+ for gas. QE3 may be a lift to Wall Street, but it is going to cost big time on main street.

In the long term this ends in the insolvency of the united states. In the short term this is more RAPING of the American people to bail out the frauds of the big bankers. The greatest transfer of Wealth in the history of the world is being accomplished by Lawless Ben.

>>In the long term

What would Brzezinski do?

“Marxism represents a further vital and creative stage in the maturing of man’s universal vision ... Marxism is simultaneously a victory of the external, active man over the inner, passive man and a victory of reason over belief ... Marxism, disseminated on the popular level in the form of communism, represents a major advance in man’s ability to conceptualize his relationship to the world.”

“In the technotronic society the trend would seem to be towards the aggregation of the individual support of millions of uncoordinated citizens, easily within the reach of magnetic and attractive personalities effectively exploiting the latest communications techniques to manipulate emotions and control reason.”
