Video: Quantitative Easing Revisited

Edward Harrison — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:38:03 +0000

Deficit fatigue has set in as large scale deficit spending has become politically unacceptable. Austerity is now in. This has caused a recession throughout Europe and weakened the US. To counteract this fiscal retrenchment, monetary authorities are 'printing' as much money as they can reasonably get away with. QE is the policy choice du jour and Omid Malekan has a colorful take on what it means. Take a look

David Rosenberg on the economic depression in the United States

Edward Harrison — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 17:00:24 +0000

David Rosenberg recently spoke to WealthTrack's Consuelo Mack about prospects for the US economy. Rosenberg believes that upside to US economic growth will continue to be constrained by high levels of debt. Despite historic levels of fiscal and monetary stimulus, "no major economic indicator that measure the economy from employment to GDP to industrial production to real incomes has managed to get back to their prior cycle highs in late 2007", notes Rosenberg. He believes that we are in a depression. Video below

They are statements posed as questions to get Bernanke to back their ideological position. Here’s what Bernanke should do when he doesn't want to answer questions. Why doesn't he just do this: point to the debt ceiling debate and say to every single question he’s asked
