I know what it was about. You seem not to know. Our conversation was about your comment. I know what happened before in the conversation, but its pretty irrelevant. It doesn't provide context to your comment that changes its meaning. Your comment - "RWingNutz ban folks before they even POST!" - was a departure from the previous comments, I responded to that departure. Conversation isn't forever limited to the first point anyone raises in a party, on SI, or elsewhere, and if it was, if changing the topic was somehow wrong, well you where the one who changed the topic.
Now in response to the new topic you just raised
"Fed could up QE to $1 trillion a month" is a bit of hyperbole that isn't well connected to the content in the actual article (probably written by someone other than the person who wrote the article, and deliberately selected to sound more incredible and attract attention, which is not unusual for headlines).
The only connection it has to the body of the article is - "The question is not tapering. The question is at what point will they increase the asset purchases to say $150 [billion] , $200 [billion], a trillion dollars a month," Faber said in a " Squawk Box " interview" - which doesn't provide an argument that the Fed will increase it at all, or even amount to an unsupported assertion that it will increase it to a trillion or month or anything close.
If it does increase its very unlikely to be a nearly dozen fold increase from already record levels.
But it doesn't have to have a dozen fold increase to be a potential problem (or eventually a near certain problem if it sticks around long enough).
Are you sure you posted the right link? I don't think it really discusses regulation in the sense that the term is most often understood. In a broader sense, that is one of the dictionary definitions, it does involve regulation (an attempt to regulate the economy, in the sense that you can use the gas pedal and break to regulate your cars speed, not the type of government rules that is most often called regulation, esp. in a political context). |
