."What long term impacts will this have?"

We'll find out in the long term.

Why didn't they have theirs when we did?

"Here in the US, we just pulled back from the brink with QE, "

We were there for 5 or 6 years, hopping on one leg while blindfolded, without falling. Sounds like you are more afraid of heights than I am.

They will have to, cuz Congress won't do anything about a jobs program. The other possibility is that we won't have one for another 11 years, under the first R pres in 16 years, and the R's in Congress will scream for a jobs bill.
