Quote:"Quantitative Easing" has been the great weapon of choice to create the illusion of an economy on the rebound. 

 

You're absolutely right about hyper inflation.  At some point, all the money the Fed has pumped into the system has to be taken back out.  When that happens, you'll see a complete meltdown as inflation takes off.  It's a scary scenario, but it's happened throughout history, and it's going to happen again. 

 

Not only that....

 

But I think the low interest rates are also a problem because it seems that in an attempt to jump start the economy in recent recessions, one of their "answers" is usually to drop rates to spur business/ commerce...well, the rates are so low right now and we never increased them so were in a spot now where we don't even have the option to drop rates should another recession/ depression hit.
