More or less "forcing" riskier investments (say for total return enhancement) may enhance the velocity of money back towards normal levels, and that in turn may boost consumer and business economic activity.

The Fed, with its huge and growing book, has more firepower than ever before to fight US inflation, if and when it emerges. The costs of specific services, like medicine and education, are not in the Fed's purview. Overall, costs are now a global consideration - and capacity utilization is low.

Time will tell whether the QE's worked well, but I like someone in power setting a clear direction and taking action. I'd like more grown-ups in DC, but not sure the system will produce that any time soon.]]> Fri, 14 Sep 2012 11:55:41 -0400

Now, imagine that the states located in the US were "countries". Each of our governors (with their egos intact) were elevated to presidents. The dollar is the common currency. The banks are regulated by their home states. The federal debt is divided amongst the states (since the US doesn't exist). The federal income tax is divided amongst the states, as well. A very few states are solvent. Most are not, they're getting worse by the day. And we need them to come to an agreement on a federal solution to the crises.

Would the wisdom and forbearance of our founding fathers come to the surface, in time, or at all? ]]> Thu, 28 Jun 2012 12:31:13 -0400
