That’s pretty much the whole plan and we’re counting on it bringing the financial sector back to life someday, somehow”. Is it just me or is that pretty much what Ben Bernanke said yesterday?

Sadly, Bernanke's zombie policy is murdering my retirement account just when I really need it to bail myself out
