Engaging in a conversation with the brainwahed Bots is like talking to three year olds. It's a waste of time.

I listen to PLENTY of people with different viewpoints than myself. I just don't listen to frothing at the mouth irrational people.

Oh, and I'm not a "liberal" - I'm a left-leaning centrist. I doubt many "liberals" voted for Reagan (as I did - TWICE). I have voted for GOP candidates from time to time in the past, and if the GOP ever frees itself from control of the bat-sh*t crazy wingnut segment of the party, I'd consider voting for GOP candidates again.

Fact is we need QE. Our economy got shot, and it needs a blood transfusion until it can start pumping fully on its own.

Markets steady,unemployment down, home values up drastically, no more tax uncertainty, every sign is a positive one. Arent you guys all about whats good for business?
Obviously, you're watching too much TV, and have no grasp at all of economics, because you would have been more accurate had you stated that the moon is made of cream cheese, with it's craters filled with onion dip.

First, there is no such thing as a "conservative" among the gangsters operating the FED and Wall Street. This gaggle of crooks make the Chicago and New York mafia look like teenage shoplifters by comparison. They are running what can only be described as the most egregious financial fraud in the history of humanity, sucking the life out of not just the US economy, but the global economy too.

The FED are the US branch of a much larger cabal of private banker gangsters who own and operate the World Bank, IMF, BIS, and all of the other major financial institutions who control the global economy. Here in the US, the FED was created and given legal license to counterfeit money, while their minions on Wall Street use this counterfeit currency to buy up tangible assets, leaving the taxpayers (you and me) the freaking bill. The major brokerage houses front run trading from the outside, while they manipulate the value of everything up or down as it suits their current objectives. The boom and bust cycles which we're told are simply the natural phenomenon of economics is anything but natural. This is economic "farming" ... if you look at money (liquidity) as water ... and the production as vegetables. The gangsters turn on the flow of money (water) to the markets they wish to grow and prosper, and those markets then grow real nice fields of abundant vegetables. Then later, at harvest time, the flow of money is restricted or cut off ... the economy goes into "recession", and the gangsters consolidate their massive wealth by buying up all of that new growth, pennies on the dollar, with more counterfeit money created out of thin air.

All the while, the gangsters on Wall Street are busy creating mechanisms to extract wealth in massive quantities through means like the creation and selling of hundreds of trillions of dollars of worthless derivatives and credit default swaps, just to name a couple, in what can only be viewed as one of the most sophisticated and complex ponzi-pyramid schemes ever created. And that is why such other fraudulent schemes like "Quantitative Easing" is needed to keep the fraud going ..... all pyramid schemes rely on the next sucker to bring in more suckers, who in turn must also bring in more new suckers just to break even, as the top of the pyramid counts their gains. A constant flow of new victims of the pyramid scheme must be found to keep the scheme going ... in this case ... new money created by the FED, and injected into the scheme which will be added to the American Taxpayer's tab, and foisted on the future taxpayers not yet born.

To say that the system is corrupt to the core would be like saying the surface of the Sun is warm. This system is just a gigantic wealth pump .... gigantic hoses connected to all of the main arteries of our economic body, with pumps pumping 24/7/365. The shear idiocy of the public knows no boundary apparently .... because when you can convince the public to willingly hand Trillions of free dollars to Billionaire bankers, and think that is going to be of any benefit to the common people .... well ... you have an endless supply of "suckers", and never have to worry about your pyramid scheme running out of fresh new money, until enough of this counterfeit currency is created that eventually causes all of it to become worthless.

That day is coming in the not too distant future .... and what you will see is that the gangsters will then own everything of tangible value, which they purchased with counterfeit money. That means, they will own all of the real stuff ... and we'll be standing in a sea of debt, with worthless paper in our pockets. But not to worry ... they'll make sure to allow you to work for them in order to receive your food stamps, and housing stipends .... you'll need only to behave, and do as you are told. Of course, we've seen this before, just not on this scale. What is being created is just one big happy global plantation, with the Masters taking care of us poor global slaves.

I don't know which side you consider "brainwashed bots." I mostly see that on the right, but it isn't exclusively on the right.

George Orwell wrote about this phenomena long ago:

"We are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time: the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield."

Apparently you don't know how read. The poster you were replying to never said that "Conservatives are running the Fed" - he said that you foaming at the mouth folks THINK you are "experts on the Fed" - a point which your just proved with your rant.

What do you think will happen when the Fed stops buying treasuries with printed money?

Been over this already - stocks will take a bit of a hit (though not NEARLY as much as you folks seem to think - and in fact, the "hit" may be long over by the time QE actually ends) and gold will fall through the floor (unless it's already in the basement = after all, gold is headed for it's worst quarter since 1968:
Gold Hits 3-Year Low, Heads for Worst Quarter Since 1968 ).
