Time To Confront Central Bank Liars
I’ve had enough. Day after day of 100% manure from these propagandists. It’s time to shout out that “the Emperors are wearing no clothes.”
For three years we have had to listen to B.S. Bernanke (yes, his initials really are “B.S.”) drone on and on about the mythical “U.S. economic recovery.” I recently pointed out with an abundance of long-term charts and elementary reasoning that it wasn’t even theoretically possible for the crippled U.S. economy to be growing.
However, don’t take my word for it. Instead, let’s look at the actions of B.S. Bernanke. Until Japan’s failed experiment with taking interest rates to zero – and leaving them there – no nation in modern history had ever engaged in such recklessly insane monetary policy.
There is a very good reason why this had never happened before in economic history. Zero percent interest rates (as I have noted previously) are nothing less than the economic equivalent of a defibrillator. It is a last-ditch, desperation measure designed to attempt to shock some life back into a dying body.
Ultra-low interest rates (interest rates much lower than inflation) were never intended as a permanent prescription for any economy. They rape “savers”. And with rapidly greying populations, we are becoming societies of savers. Leaving interest rates at near-zero is simply serial rape.
What happens when you rape savers again and again and again? They stop saving. They begin spending their paper as fast as they get it – the inevitable consequence of near-zero interest rates...
