it means the Federal Reserve is buying US Treasury debt. with what you might ask? yes, with what is the question. you can't audit the Fed, do they have any 'real money'? i dunno
if you buy a T-bill with nothing, what do you call that?

Everybody knows what they are buying it with. What "real money" are you talking about?

there is a lot of lying going on from the US govt
they say "what inflation?", no you can't count that 'volatile' food and energy, we'll pretend that didn't go up, lalalalallalla

govt officials tried to suppress the S&P outlook downgrade, no, the US govt isn't into lying to the people either :rolleyes:

There's "core" and "headline" CPI. Nobody doesn't count food/energy.

i rest my case
or are you going to say there are no 'political decisions' driving QE? oh wait, you already said that in your posts

you can call me an idiot if you want. i know i don't know much, but i know i don't trust either side. as far as i can tell, 'they' are all in on what is going on, there are people all over the globe getting in on this deal and none of them are 'poor' or middle class. U.S. politicians in both democrat and republican party are clearly on board with what is happening

i have trouble not believing that this is about switching the whole world to single currency and putting the Oligarchs in overt control , so they can quit hiding in the shadows

You know, they do make drugs for such paranoia. It severely undercuts your own arguments, making you seem like a loon, not an idiot.

I already explained the reasoning behind QE2.

You might not want to wish that.

It could mean that the Chinese can buy up more companies and properties in the US, and turn those that said "fuck China" into their slaves.

Good, hope they do buy more US companies and property. Valuations for US goods/properties will increase, increasing demand for our construction, driving employment. That will bolster the dollar, dropping values for the property in Yuan, fucking them on the back end.

I love how people who have almost no grasp of economics opine profusely on economics.


I wish I could draw stick figures to explain this stuff to you guys. It's really quite simple. China is avoiding a Japan 2.0 by buying treasuries rather than real assets. They aren't allowing our economy to take off by not buying non-financial assets. So, instead, we are fucking them on the front end by shoving inflation down their pipe, then they'll be forced to appreciate the Yuan, then the fucking really begins on the back end.

I keep telling you guys, this is an economic war, sometimes war requires sacrifice. Of course, libertopians and small minded people don't close the loop on the war and realize that somebody is making war on us. Unless we make war back we're surrendering our economy to them.
