Quantitive easing to infinity. Just like JS has been saying. Everything will be bailed out.


One thing we know for sure - fiat currency ALWAYS collapses.

Thanks for the pin!

This will be epic.

Printing more money will will only delay not prevent a collapse.

In the end it may make it worse.

One of the Doctor Doom economists said that when a country starts to buy their own bonds then the collapse is inevitable.

I can't remember who said it but not only is the EU bailing out the Euro on top of it all they will be buying their own bonds.

politicians steal money making it look like it was the people.
politicians could accuse bankers, but they wont.
politicians print more money making the value of its people and country worth less.
politicians get a fresh batch of counterfeit to steal.
In the end the politicians shift the financial burden to the people, and even the unborn don't get away unburdened.

In the end, the politicians steal the money then penalize the citizens for the crime. Heck of a racket.

Join the party.

Thank you for putting it in an easy-to-understand way, and that's essentially what is happening.

Europe does NOT have anything to guarantee their own Euros, just like America does NOT have anything to back up their own greenbacks.

Even if they used up all their gold reserve it still ain't gonna be enough.

its a numbers game, usa debts are larger than europes, captial will flee to the safest haven, who is going to by us bonds at 0% interest rates lol...europe is a better deal compared to the usa thats all that matters to tilt the balance. the whole greece thing was a smokescreen to stop the dollars collapse and it failed. Im not saying europe is immune cause eventually they will succumb, but USA will go first before they will thats for sure

Re: Holy Crap EU Euro Rescue Plan Now Up To A Mind Blowing $962 Billion Dollars!!! Pin! This Is Epic!!!
And now the Fed jumps in. This gets better all the time.


May 9 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Federal Reserve said it will restart its emergency currency-swap tool by providing as many dollars as needed to central banks in Europe, the U.K. and Switzerland to help keep Europe’s sovereign-debt crisis from spreading to other markets.

The swaps with the ECB, Bank of England and Swiss central bank will allow them to provide the “full allotment” of U.S. dollars as needed, the Fed said today in a statement in Washington. A separate swap line with the Bank of Canada will support as much as $30 billion, the Fed said. The swaps were authorized through January 2011.

The Fed action came as European policy makers unveiled an unprecedented loan package worth almost $1 trillion to stop a crisis that threatened to shatter confidence in the euro. The Fed on Feb. 1 had closed all swap lines opened during the financial crisis triggered by the subprime-mortgage meltdown in 2007.

In a swap, central banks exchange foreign currency with an agreement to reverse the transaction at a later date. The central banks will then lend the dollars at fixed rates to firms in their countries. Dollar liquidity tightened in London last week amid concern financial institutions are holding too many assets of Europe’s most indebted nations.

The London interbank offered rate, or Libor, for three- month loans climbed 5.5 basis points to 0.428 percent, the highest level since Aug. 17, according to data from the British Bankers’ Association. It was the biggest increase since Jan. 16, 2009, and the 13th straight gain.

U.S. Pressure

The Fed’s swaps come at a time of increasing political scrutiny. Congress could ask why the U.S. central bank is expanding the supply of dollars to help smooth disruptions caused by fiscal imbalances in Europe.

Senator Bernard Sanders, a Vermont independent, wants the Government Accountability Office to look into Fed lending facilities during the crisis, including swap lines with foreign central banks, such as the $20 billion facility the Fed opened with the ECB in December 2007.

A vote on the Sanders amendment could come as soon as May 11 as Congress proceeds on the most sweeping overhaul of financial regulations since the Great Depression.

“Many members of Congress are deeply suspicious of the Fed’s interventionist instincts,” said Lou Crandall, chief economist at Wrightson ICAP LLC in Jersey City, New Jersey. “Bailing out Wall Street caused enough resentment; appearing to bail out Greece would be even more problematic.”

“The Fed cannot afford to rile up its congressional critics while the financial reform bill is still in play,” Crandall said before tonight’s announcement.

The whole financial system is a huge sham now. No one has the money. Its all all bullsheet fiat digital digit money made up out of thin air. As usual.

What I don't understand is. If they're going to do it this way time after time. Why not give the billions and trillions to the people instead of the big banksters.

CAuse the banksters own the whole thing and they want the money. Tuff luck average people.

I simply can't allow myself to think of the day that fat lady sings.

The bubble will burst one day. It's a matter of time.

And I just can't imagine what will happen.

Suddenly no matter if you have Euros or Greenbacks they all becomes worthless.

And there are only so much gold available - the world will turn into a barter system - all over again.

And upheaval would be tremendous.

There will be war.

There will be mayhem.

No, I just can't think of what might happen.
