Injin Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 also charging negative interest rates to banks to get them lending Printy printy! So what's new? - the boe opened in 1694 and has printed and debased ever since. It's not going to stop now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnbull2000 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Wouldn't surprise me. Didn't a member of the 'shadow MPC' vote for a substantial increase in QE and rates held at near zero for the next half-decade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

interestrateripoff Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 We must have inflation at all costs, even if the cost is hyperinflation that's better than deflation. The BoE is full of retards. I vote we let monkeys set monetary policy I firmly believe they could to a better job. Or just leave it to a tombola?

Dorkins Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Why are we still cutting rates and creating money out of thin air, if theres a recovereh under way? Because recoverehs are beautiful and fragile things, like fairies and butterflies, which need protection from the harsh light of economic reality so they can grow and get stronger. Oh no wait, I'm thinking of bubbles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopping now, only to watch the economy fall down a hole, would make them look very stupid after all the green shoots and recovery talk. As it stands, the UK public think Gordon and the gang are clever for saving them from affordable property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
