"and forcing people to invest in our country" when you force people to 'invest' they are not investing, it's extortion.

john, look around - investing in the country isn't happening. just another bubble. in spite of trillions pumped into the economy, debt is still dropping. market-ticker.denninger.net debt is money, so money supply is dropping, too. without $2-3 trillion a year, that slow drop turns into a cliff dive. if they continue with the $2-$3 trillion a year, our lenders stop lending. china's treasuries are flat from may - they don't want new treasuries. japan is threatening to sell treasuries. so there are two end games... 1. stop the unprecedented stimulus and watch the bubble implode (unlikely). 2. simply print fiat money (debt) and not rely on others to lend us money - the weimar option (more likely). neither one ends well. this is why one does not blow bubbles in the first place. no bubble in the history of the world has ever avoided a bad ending - and this is the mother of all bubbles. and this says nothing about the $500-$1,400 trillion in derivatives.
