Bob Chapman - International Forecaster | This So Called Recovery Is Going Nowhere

Trillions more dollars in bailout to keep the bubble alive, Inflation guaranteed for Asia, Stock Market is again highly leveraged, Trillions in more injections wont work, No way to reverse this reversal of fortune for the economy, Developed nations seen as having dug their own graves, Saga of Pat Kiley.

The Fed’s Wall Street bubble, as we forecast in January, will need at least $2 trillion more in 2010, if the economy is to just stay on an even keel. The massive debt liquidation particularly in banking, Wall Street and in insurance demands many more trillions of dollars. $23.4 trillion is not going to be enough. Presently the Fed is in the process of monetizing $2 trillion in Treasuries, Agency paper, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and collateralized debt obligations held by lenders. It is a secret what the Fed is paying for this almost worthless paper. Is it any wonder the public has lost trust and confidence in these players and our government?
