QE3, QE4, QE5...

More and more crack to keep the Zombie economy staggering forward.

QE3 is not only a bonanza for the Big Banks and for big holders of otherwise devalued government mortgage paper, it's also a way to create the illusion of health in a financial system that is in reality on life support.
