10. Quantitative Easing Helps the Economy Yes, quantitative easing is “printing” money. No, it won’t help the economy. Make no mistake, quantitative easing is a gift to bankers and nothing else. The Federal Reserve is giving bankers risk-free trading profits and causing food and gas prices to surge (making it even harder for Americans to get out of debt). 9.

   Mr. Gregson is 100% correct. One wonders why this isn't a "lead story" in the mainstream Fourth Estate. (That's because the majority of the "news" media were bought and paid for at least 50 years ago. There is little cause to believe that news is anything but propaganda and slight-of-mind, intended to placate and brainwash the masses. I've said it a hundred times: It's nearly impossible to manipulate and control a population that is educated, informed, healthy, financially prosperous, and looking forward to a productive and resonably secure future for themselves and their children. Why would manipulative traitors and cowards ever protect or promote the well-being of their human [chattel] cattle?)
