You nailed it, there is a lot of fear out there, the money is on the table but no one is stepping forward. I don’t blame Ben for standing out with such comments because the fear factor might move the herd into self fulfilling the double dip!DIY,

I’m with Joe. In fact, I think keeping the Fed keeping rates low is hurting the economy. It has wiped out a lot of purchasing which is desperately needed at this point. Businesses aren’t borrowing because rates are too high they are not borrowing because they are scared.

On another note, I am not a fan of double dipping, I think we’ll get out of the woods, slowly but painfully….It’s a tough call, whatever tools are left in the end will involve the printing press. Will it work? there are no guarantees!

I am sure that the Fed would take action if the outlook was to continue to deteriorate, but with interest rates already at record lows and unemployment stuck at 10%, I have zero confidence that any of Ben’s tools would make a difference.
