Quantitative easing is an insane gamble.

IMO, the present state of the American economy is due in large part to decades of personal spending which has been disproportionate with real incomes, thanks in large part to credit cards and lax lending regulations. The economy has slowed because these said individuals have finally begun, through fear, to pay down their debt as well as save. While this bodes well for the future, it will naturally suppress the economy in the present. Unfortunately, this is all happening at a time when many countries' slowly educating populations, those that used to produce little plastic trinkets, come on line to offer complex labor at lower wages than that which can be offered in the west. It also goes without saying, that these countries are not over extended with military flights of fancy or tremendously burdened by defense expenditures. Batten down the hatches and welcome the perfect storm.

Solid assessment there, as usual, from our Canadian counterpart.

Perhaps the thing that impresses me most about the Daily Show is how great they are at using pure logic, as opposed to bluster and hyperbole, to such ruthless and withering effect. To wit:

Cost of at-risk programs vs. cost of tax breaks for rish assholes vs. cost of a war...
