QE3 Explained...

The Fed recently announced it would begin purchasing $40 Billion per month of mortgage-backed securities in an effort to spur economic growth which will should to lower unemployment.  Theoretically.  The idea behind Quantitative Easing Round 3 (QE3) is purchasing these mortgage-backed securities will lower mortgage interest rates. With lower rates, first time home buyers will have more disposable income post-home purchase (because they will not be paying as much to their mortgage issuer) and will therefore be able to spend that money elsewhere.  That will raise demand, which will lead to companies to hire more people, which will lower the unemployment rate.  Lower rates also help those who wish to refinance their mortgage, and they, too, would then have more disposable income.  QE1 and QE2 have already occurred, with indeterminable results.  We'll see what effect this fed "pumping", with newly printed money, will have on our economy.

What a debacle.....
Is anyone happy with the replacement officials?  I mean, other than the Seahawks?

  1. In response to the replacement officials...the Packers had plenty of opportunities to put themselves in position to score. You can't expect to win on the road, especially Seattle, when your quarterback gets sacked eight times. They had three drives end with sacks. Was it a bad call? Probably, but it should have been pass interference to begin with. Were the packers robbed of a victory? Absolutely not, they had plenty of opportunities to put points on the board and failed to capitalize. One call does not and should not determine the outcome of a game.
