It is strange, the Fed's constant lying for multiple years and their constant playing games with the economic numbers using its balance sheet has made the entire economy untrustworthy of real growth, so much so investment in capital is pathetically low, companies have been and continue to buy back shares rather than invest in growth, and consumers are smart enough not to stretch their already leveraged balance sheet on rubbish. Sadly, we now have a bubble in housing caused by the very thing that caused the last crash and everyone now knows stock prices have been manipulated by fed calls for banks to gamble and overextend the market.

The inevitable end is utter failure of the economy to ever get growth up, a overextended government and Federal Reserve to fail to have traditional resources to counter an economic downturn, and a decreasing trust in US bonds as a International reserve currency leading to a call for some new realignment to weaken the US hold. This is all very bad for the US not because the US is a capital bastion, but because the US is forfeiting its right as a capitalist bastion and losing all the benefits of being just that. We must reject planned economies by the Federal reserve and growing socialist movement spearheaded by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Sallie Mae, and TBTF banks before we start to lose our democracy as well as our economic status. The dwindling of the middle class is the start.
