I don’t understand your rationale here. I think it’s the other way around. The “little guy” in the U.S. has been the primary beneficiary of the current system. $25+ trillion of debt was the cost of enabling this “little guy” to enjoy the highest standard of living in the history of the human race.

You’re crazy. The ‘little’ guy has been paying 50% in taxes forever. Ask the nurse to up your meds.

I recognize the fact that a lot of “free money” help fuel a wild consumer economy. People might see that as a good thing. Like cheap goods from China. Wheeeeeeeeeeee!

But once upon a time, people could live a middle class lifestyle on one income. Healthcare was not ruinously costly. College was actually affordable. Our economy has changed. We’re all wage slaves now. Health care is killing people. College debt ruins young people’s future. Mom has to work and the kids are raised in daycare. It’s a pretty crazy system and a lot of the problem is the debt.

People may like some aspects of “free money” from the Fed but I think they’ve turned us into junkies who need another fix. That’s no way to live.
