Could be Yes, having caused the financial crisis to begin with, the Fed's actions in the 6 months to a year following the crisis were probably warranted. BUT, not the 6 years of QE after the initial crisis was dealt with. QE is great for inflating financial assets. It is horrible at generating real economic growth. if you blame the Fed for the internet bubble or the Tulip Bubble (1634-1638) or many of the others that occurred long before our Fed. pbs.org I think bubbles come from excessive leverage and speculation. I have a hard time justifying QE, it doesn't seem fair to print money to buy debt then pick winners and losers via the government who sold the debt deciding who gets the money. And it is a shame that the Fed created conditions whereby it is more constructive for corporations to repurchase shares( I agree with you there) rather than invest in an expanding economy. Yes, that is why I've been for LOWER SPENDING, especially on warfare and rewards for not working (ie any welfare/entitlement program.) Neither is productive but nearly impossible to cut spending for once you've addicted so many to the spending. Since arguing with my young, socialist high school teachers in the 1970s that companies should be treated as resources, not evil empires to suck dry with taxes, I've been for low taxes for corporations to encourage them to create jobs here.... where we can tax the workers.
