no, because when you artificially push money into the economy, you deflate the value of the dollar, and it needs to be reversed.

It might push up the GDP on paper, but it wont create a recovery.

Money printing is not inflationary though even if the banks hold on to the reserves. If institutions hold on to reserves, there's no inflationary risk.

So the fed will hand more money to banks who will turn around and buy up treasuries and get the taxpayers to pay em interest on it. The same game different QE. Up just went the gas and food prices yet again.

One month yeild on treasury notes is .09%. 40 billion a month handed out. Do the math and see how much the banks will pocket by doing nothing.
