Quantitative Easing…

Nice phrase, shitty idea, unless you want to help bankers.   Oh wait, that is the idea:  Help the bankers and make the taxpayers liable.

$2 T for QE by the Fed .   My cure would be to instead have the Fed print real cash/checks and mail/deposit them to actual taxpayers.  In 2007, there were $138 M taxpayers, let’s be generous and say there are now $140M (We all know there aren’t more than there were in 2007), then each of these taxpayors could get a payment of $14,285 each. Some people would save it, some would spend it, some would pay debt, but at least it would go where it was needed by the taxpayers.
