http://apnews.myway.com/article/20090606/D98L67500.html NEW YORK (AP) - The Federal Reserve announced a $1.2 trillion plan three months ago designed to push down mortgage rates and breathe life into the housing market. But this and other big government spending programs are turning out to have the opposite effect. Rates for mortgages and U.S. Treasury debt are now marching higher as nervous bond investors fret about a resurgence of inflation. Huh.....really. Who'd a thunk it? |

The clock is ticking on the Fed. The bill for the audit is gaining momentum. They can only blame the "free market" and "greed" for so long, and when the situation becomes exponentially worse from all of this gov't intervention, hopefully the call for even stricter regulations will fall on deaf ears. And hopefully that will come before these gangsters have completely destroyed our currency and our economy. |

I sure do Brum, but I am wondering if they are going to have to resurect Elliot Ness to make sure the audit doesn't become corrupted.....with that much money floating around, that will clearly be the most difficult part of the audit. |

heres my favorite part- One explanation is that bond investors anticipate a greater supply of government debt being sold to fund federal spending. Investors are also increasingly fearful that the trillions of dollars the government will need to borrow in the coming years to finance the various stimulus programs will lead to a new bout of inflation. "The bond market is calling the Federal Reserve out," said Mike Larson, a real estate analyst at Weiss Research Inc. in Jupiter, Fla. "Investors are saying that the Fed can't just print money out of thin air to finance a massive deficit." |
