It may be interesting to hear what he has to say.......but is what he has to say really worth hearing?

I heard on the news this morning that the Fed is meeting today to find more ways "to help the economy"....

(I think they've "helped" enough, thank you very much. With friends like that, who needs enemas. )

Okay, so did you REALLY mean this? Or enemies???? Either/or you are still right!

I wanted to see if anyone was paying attention. (It's actually a line from an old movie, "Short Circuit".)

But yeah, enemas/enemies...same difference. :/

Yep, they only really have three options in their playbook. One, they can try to drive down long term bond yields. This isn't a desirable option and it probably would only have minimal results. Two, drop interest rates which are already near zero, and in certain instances actually negative (weird, but true). Again, this would only have minimal results. And three, quantitative easing, ie., printing more money. We all know how well that has worked. In the last two years the Fed has pumped a minimum of 1.6 trillion into the economy (maybe considerably more, but they aren't releasing the exact figures).

According to the US Senate, the Federal Reserve, in the name of the U.S., provided $16 trillion in secret loans to bail out American and foreign banks and businesses. That's money that the U.S. Government (actually me, you, and the next several generations) is on the hook for if things get worse and the loans don't get paid back.
