With Heroes Like This, Who Needs Villains?

I think Ulmann misspelled "villains."

Ulmann writes that the Fed "has taken extraordinary steps to prevent the global economy from crashing into irreversible catastrophe as business around the world grinds to a virtual halt."

This is like praising the arsonist for trying to put out the fire he set by throwing more gasoline on it.

The Fed certainly has taken extraordinary steps. Just a few days ago, it announced QE infinity. It committed to buy an "unlimited" amount of US Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities. It also announced a new program to buy corporate bonds for the first time ever.

In Ulmann's Keynesian wonderland this is fantastic news.

The Fed can create unlimited amounts of dollars — that's right, trillions, if required — to ensure that banks have enough funds to make emergency loans to businesses large and small."
