QUANTITATIVE EASING INTO ECONOMIC DEATH

The term quantitative easing disguises the incredible absurdity of governments borrowing from themselves. The practice first emerged in the 1990s when deflation forced the Japanese to do so in order to keep its vulnerable economy afloat.

It is no coincidence that quantitative easing is now being adopted by the US and UK nor is it a good sign that it is being done. Quantitative easing is a sign that deflation has reached a level where governments cannot survive unless extreme measures are implemented.
