Bernanke has crushed inflation.

When he took over in 2006 the crb was 340 and it is now 300, 5 years later.

QE is not “money printing”.

Banks never lend reserves. Loans create deposits. The money multiplier is a myth. This is why QE1 and QE2 did not cause a surge in loans or inflation.

The wealth effect in equities is a myth.

The portfolio rebalancing effect of QE can cause substantial disequilibrium in the economy.

QE does not alter the number of net financial assets outstanding in the private sector.

What is QE?
