If big business understands this and likes the easy money policy of the Fed, why would they hire anyone. <br />As long as hiring remains flat, the Fed will continue its easy money policy. <br />What I hear is that as soon as you start hiring, we will stop the easy money. Therefore, big business will outsource jobs and keep unemployment above 8% in the USA. <br />It would be counterproductive to do otherwise.Snoophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14485144814544942917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333088.post-81377473770497049662011-02-11T08:20:36.785-05:002011-02-11T08:20:36.785-05:00I think Mr. Bernanke now believes in a self sustai...I think Mr. Bernanke now believes in a self sustaining economic expansion.

It's the people that make up for 70% of the GDP. Some people would spend it and some would save it and some would pay down on there back house payments and such. QE2 to prop up the stock market is targeting the better well off people and the ones with deep pockets.
