Here Comes QE3: Hoenig Says "More Quantitatve Easing May Be Discussed"

02-02-2011 • ZeroHedge.com

We thought Jon Hilsenrath would break the news of QE3. To our shock, it comes from the only sensible man at the Fed, Kansas Fed's Tom Hoenig. Per Reuters: "The Federal Reserve could debate extending its bond-buying program beyond June if U.S. economic data prove weaker than policymakers expect, Kansas City Fed President Thomas Hoenig said. Another round of bond buying "may get discussed" if the numbers look "disappointing," Hoenig told Market News International in an interview published on Tuesday." May we suggest in that case that Joe LaVorgna stop blaming every herpes outbreak in the US on snow and instead indicate that shit is once again hitting the fan. Obviously, this is merely a scheme to keep the market well bid no matter how violent the revolutionary images on TV, brought upon precisely by this genocidal policy. Even more obviously, it means that oil is going to $200 on short notice.
