The FED did what it did out of macro-economic orthodoxy/stupidity and/or the self interest of the TBTF banks and other financial institutions like itself in keeping everything in such a muddled but quasi-tolerable mess that the general populace won’t rise up en mass and kick their asses or bash their heads in. It’s up to us to recognize this super slow-motion train wreck strategy by standing up on our own hind legs and demanding that policies be implemented that terminatedly end their dominance, that correct the specific and most basic problems of the economy and that will consequently free both the individual and enable the system to be free flowing.
