Boston Fed President Wants QE3 Continued Until Unemployment Falls to 7.25%
“I will break the pride of your power” (Leviticus 26:19)
Boston Federal Reserve President Rosengren calls for continuing QE3 for a while:
Bloomberg – 1 November 2012
QE3 stands for the third round of “quantitative easing.” Quantitative easing is sometimes called an “asset repurchasing” program that the US Federal Reserve does. Yet, this is mainly a sham operation that debases the value of the U.S. dollar (mainly the government prints up money electronically and the “asset” purchased is a U.S. treasury note, not a real asset like, let’s say, an oil well; yes there are also some mortgages purchased which have ties to real assets, but there are problems there as well).
The hope is that the “cost” to doing this will be ignored and printing more money will stimulate the economy enough to reduce unemployment, so in theory, the economy will improve and the excessive electronic money printing will no longer be necessary. It is an interesting form of deceit that normally has some seemingly positive benefits (sort of like the so-called “pleasures of sin” per Hebrews 11:25)–and the Boston Fed President thinks it helps (see Eric Rosengren says Fed’s latest stimulus efforts are helping US economy). But there is a real cost.
Inflating the money supply through currency debasing (QE1, QE2, and QE3) and debt (“stimulus” programs) is not something advocated in the Bible. Notice:
4 Take away the dross from silver (Proverbs 25:4a).
25 I will turn My hand against you,
And thoroughly purge away your dross,
And take away all your alloy. (Isaiah 1:25)22 Your silver has become dross, Your wine mixed with water. (Isaiah 1:22)
Dross is a cheaper metal that is normally placed inside a covering of a precious metal like silver. Governments began to do this thousands of years ago when they had financial problems. Putting dross into silver cheapens currency, just like putting water into wine dilutes the wine’s value. In modern times, government spending in excess of revenues and quantitative easing programs (QE1, QE2, and QE3 from the Federal Reserve) are a way to dilute the value of currencies. This is not the biblical solution to US economic problems.
QE3 is sending a strong signal to the world that the USA does not know how to truly fix its economy, but that it hopes because its dollar is the primary world’s reserve currency that it can get away with currency debasement and the rest of the world will put up with it–and while that may be true in the short run, it is sending a signal to the rest of the world that the US dollar needs to be replaced as the world’s primary reserve currency.
Now, the real cause of why all of this is happening to the USA is sin. Because of it’s increasing secularism, greed, and tolerance for sexual, abortive, violence, and other sins, the USA is getting closer to reaping more what it has sown:
7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. (Galatians 6:7-8)
One of the many cursings that were prophesied in the Bible to be reaped for disobedience was that of accumulation of debt:
43 The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. 44 He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail. 45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the LORD your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you (Deuteronomy 28:42-45).
As the Anglo-American nations have not kept God’s commandments, they have become the greatest debtor nations of all time. And while some do not count quantitative easing as “debt”, it is an improper “solution” to the USA’s economic woes.
But since the Federal Reserve will not advocate that the USA turn to God, at least some of its leaders seem to think that diluting the currency is the best choice (the Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke, also supports QE3).
The economy, debt situation, and moral situation in the USA is serious. None of them can continue indefinitely and will end in ways that most Americans really do not believe is possible. But right now, Federal Reserve leaders and various media leaders are advocating something that is more dangerous than they probably realize.
