Letter: Obama's quantitative easing unsustainable

http://www.newsleader.com/article/20131014/OPINION/310140012/Letter-Obama-s-quantitative-easing-unsustainable

Obama's actions have led the Federal Reserve to start a quantitative easing policy that prints money to buy government bonds from big banks and lowers interest rates to increase borrowing and spending.

A QE program is instituted as a last resort in a failing economy. So far, this policy has raised inflation and transferred wealth from the middle class to the affluent by enriching banks and elevating the stock market, but inspired no economic expansion.

Obama has no say in what the Fed does, His only responsibility is for the appointment of the Fed Chairman, the rest of the voting members are appointed by the 12 Federal Reserve banks, which are NOT agencies of the government.
