It is longtime, widely-held, economic theory. There's your problem, right there. The Right, and by extension Tenchu, rejects widely-held economic theories and pretends they have been supplanted by whacked out fringe ones. Like concentrations of wealth are good for an economy.

I really don't care what you call it, Z, nor do I care if someone who claims to be an "economist" agrees with it. I don't buy the notion that federal policy has to punish savings by pumping easy money into the economy. Savings is key to increasing consumer confidence. Quantitative easing has its uses, but it also has its limits, including time limits. And when all you want to do is pump up numbers without looking at the core of it all, you don't have a sound, long-lasting policy. Instead, you are doing nothing more than monetizing federal debt. Now if you want to run this by your "economist" friend and have him explain why this is sound economic policy, that would be great. But if you want to be like most of the other libtards on this thread and claim authority without demonstrating one shred of analytic thought, then you'd be wasting my time. Tenchusatsu
