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.


Inflation diminishes government debt. That's a good thing for the government.

Exactly , and it's a bad thing for the most people, because their savings diminishes, too.
