The War on Cash is now accelerating.
As the financial system lurches towards collapse, the elites and those who derive power from sitting at the top of the food chain are growing increasingly desperate to maintain the status quo.
When 2008 hit, the Fed cut rates to zero and began implementing QE. It has now maintained ZIRP for six years (the single longest period in history) and has grown its balance sheet by over $3.5 trillion (larger than most countries).
ZIRP has made no sense whatsoever since 2011. You cannot continue to babble about a “recovery” when ZIRP is in place. No legitimate “recovery” in economic history required ZIRP four years into a new business cycle.
Moreover, QE was known to be a Wall Street bailout and an economic dud as early as 2010. The man who ran QE 1 admitted the former in an op-ed piece. And anyone who’s examined Japan’s multi-decade, multi-Trillions of Yen QE failures knows the latter.
