"A true cynic might be tempted to think that this is just the creation of a last avenue of escape for the elite before the whole corrupt house comes crashing down" Sounds like an optimist to me, if that's all that happens. Or maybe I'm just really jaded now... I too am in awe of the ability of the Feds to do what I think will ultimately double or triple the national debt for this year, with literally no oversight, but instead much back slapping and cigar smoking. It's every banker's dream, really -- Dooh Nibor. <g>

I'm very far from happy about what the Fed is doing and has done, but I'm even less happy about the idiocies that they and the other anti-social idiots in regulatory areas (including the Fed itself & Greenspan) didn't do a few years ago when all the indicators were there... and we could also trace that back for many decades or even centuries. The Fed and gov't are screwed - all options suck, and they're walking on a razor blade. If they do nothing, the probability of a global financial meltdown is very high. The "best" outcome is a delay of the inevitable - whether that's crash & burn or hyperinflation or some nasty combination, the chances of the NAU and the Amero coming about on the way to something like Mundel's Intor or similar aren't small... along with the other ugly police state and Orwellian features. Time for a few cold ones...

This is not 1929 or 1933, it is a new paradigm paid for by savers, labor and retirees. Some taxpayers will benefit, but some will be hurt, but it is mostly savers that will get hurt the most. Message 24426756

Wait until the Paulson - Sachs connection develops along with the insider trading of BS the last few days before the crash. What this country needs is leadership and a cleansing of the Fed.
