Actually, I thought the Fed was using QE as Stimulus money more or less to decrease unemployment.

Not to stop deflation.

Not that I think it's a good idea.

But I'm pretty sure that's why it was happening not deflation.

The problem with the Fed is that it's focus is always short term.


That seems to be the problem with all of our most important institutions.

Central banks: The next year's financial indicators

Elected officials: Whenever the next election comes

Publicly traded corporations: The next quarterly financial report

My favourite is when they liquidate a long-term strategic asset to pad the budget of today. And they all seem to do it.
