I wouldn’t say that people are entitled to a safe investment option that offers a decent yield, but on the other hand I’m also skeptical of more than a decade of what was supposed to be extraordinary intervention.
- nybble41 5y agoI also wouldn't say that anyone is entitled to a safe investment option, but they are entitled to non-interference—which includes the various rules and regulations which keep people (and especially those with less resources) tied to the US Dollar even as it's diluted at an ever-increasing pace. And without those rules and regulations anything remotely like QE would be a quick route to economic (and political) suicide, rather than the slow-but-inevitable decline we see today.
