The sum total of Fed actions over the past 3 years can probably be summed up as the central bank attempting to create its own reality. They have committed to the following :
- Keeping deflation at bay and raising the inflation rate
- Keeping the Fed Funds rate low for an indefinite period (forever?)
- QE1 and Q2 (and Q3)? (Quantitative Easing - the purchase of US government securities in the open market)
- Supposedly working toward full employment while stating that it will take 4 to 5 years for employment to recover?
All of these actions are the result of a single fact: They are compensating for failing to do the job they were tasked with from 2000 to 2008. They failed and we pay and pay.
