It's hogwash. Big corps have boatloads of cash. Small business can't get a loan. Why would a bank loan to a small business when they think we might be going into a depression? A self-fulfilling prophecy..

No, but he's right that QE2 won't do squat to help the economy, will set the stage for a global market crash, and could undermine faith in the dollar in an unrecoverable fashion. IOW, it can't help, but it could create a disaster. Benny's used to financial markets that he can jam in 15 minutes on an option expiration Friday; when confidence in a currency disappears, it might not come back. Stock markets are fickle; currency markets seem to be more like freight trains - hard to stop once they're in motion. Of course, the real fix isn't political either, except to stop f***ing bailing out everyone under the sun and let the needed restructuring HAPPEN. `BC
