"If he does this today guess who will be fleeced." This is the rock and hard place dilemma. High interest rates would cause the federal deficit to skyrocket, and likely accelerate the teetering blob to the precipice. Any budding recovery green sproutlets would wither and die a horrible death, unemployment would escalate rapidly, perhaps to beyond 1930s levels, and we would probably become susceptible to change from without as well as change from within. The era of fiscal sanity has passed. Now, I believe it is simply keeping the system from drowning as long as possible. Hence, a complete system reset in our future, 1 year away, 3 years, maybe 10 years? The longer it goes, the more successful all nations will be in debasing at close to the same rate to keep things from becoming unstable and breaking apart. But in that scenario, commodities win, because they won't have their supply increased just because the world has trillions of everything sloshing around trying to buy something.
