re: "Quantitative easing (QE)"


It looks like more American money will be flowing to Europe, too.

Cameron just finished telling Germany's Merkel that ONLY SHE can save the EU. He then promptly hopped on a jet for America, no doubt to arrange for an under-the-table transfer of wealth from the U.S. to Germany, to the European Union, to bankers in Greece and Spain.

That's how it works these days. We're enveloped in debt, but still issuing more with which to bail out the rest of the world's banking communities. It doesn't matter if this destroys us. It only matters that Obummer and Bernanke get to keep their jobs in November.

Quantitative easing (QE) is an unconventional monetary policy used by central banks to stimulate the national economy when conventional monetary policy has become ineffective. A central bank buys financial assets to inject a pre-determined quantity of money into the economy. This is distinguished from the more usual policy of buying or selling government bonds to keep market interest rates at a specified target value. A central bank implements quantitative easing by purchasing financial assets from banks and other private sector businesses with new electronically created money (magic money). This action increases the excess reserves of the banks, and also raises the prices of the financial assets bought, which lowers their yield.
