Obama and his ilk spent $85 billion dollars per MONTH on what is called Quantitative Easing. They did this for at least 5 YEARS. Approximately one half was for T-bill purchases to legitimize and collateralized our debt that massively increased to cover mainly entitlements and liberal programs. The other half was used to buy Mortgaged Backed Securities (can anybody say renamed bundled credit derivatives of junk mortgages?). It is no wonder the Stock Market was so happy....happy as long as QE still exists...... The other part - debt- well, that’s the Fed and they police themselves.
