"The beatings will continue until moral improves" == "QE will continue until the economy improves" The FED has this tragically wrong. It ignored the news of the last 24hours. Expect more poverty, hunger, and death because of this money printing.

This is my fucking Plan!

To have the Federal Reserve Corporation stuffed to its fucking rafters with mountains of stinking toxic waste fecal matter, that it destroys itself from within and blows itself up.

It's a very complicated plan. I've been working on this plan for a very long time.

Now just go along with it and shut the fuck up about it.

Actually it was a pilot to see how well the public would accept another round of QE. Based upon that virtually all of the money thrown on to the streets was collected, the FOMC deciding that americans would approve of QE3.

 

What we really need is for the Fed to pull a Gordon Brown, and dump all its gold reserves so that the price of gold takes a tumble so we can all load up with Gold at a discounted price before the dollar dies.

Yesterday, after the bank robbers threw money out of the windows of the get away car, I commented on Yahoo! that Bernanke has been doing that for years- and nobody is chasing him or trying to lock him up.

This is what a commenter said back to me. "Another stupid reply!"

Heh. You cannot make this shit up. Beer is cheap at WalMart.

Funny all of the people in the media focus on just the 40 Billion in MBS purcahses, and avoid discussing larger $45 Billion on twist. And also that there is no cap or end date for these purchases. $85 Billion X 12 months = $1.02 Trillion per year.

No one asked the one pertinent question:

Mr. Bernanke, with all due respect, the Fed has been addressing this economic slack for over 4 years. The Fed has executed many interest rate, balance sheet and communication policy changes over this period. Why is this policy initative going to be successful when all others have fallen short of your objective?

Absolutely. I'd think it would be obvious by now that the grass-roots motivation behind a candidate who's greatest claim is being "anybody but the incumbent" is never strong enough to capture the office.

The only interesting thing remaining is how the MSM paints the fictitious horse race scenario in order to keep interest up until selection day.

As always, my only hope is that the headlines are "lowest voter turnout ever."

I was on the phone with a buddy and we both had on the tube watching the cops chase down the bank robbers the other day........I laughed so hard I nearly cried when, after the cops got the guy stopped and cuffed, out of the nearby cribs come what, two or three hundred of the inner city hip-hop contingent.  Never in my life, did I think you could round up that many felons in the "hood that fast.
