Yesterday Bernanke said the in 2014 the US reserve would stop buying US Securities. Translation, the US reserve will stop printing money to buy securities that they are printing. Since then the dow has dropped 450 points. There is no better indication that the US economy has been held up by the Fed printing worthless paper. Anybody out there have any idea how the US taxpayers are going to pay off 17 trillion dollars in debt? How are the taxpayers going to pay for all the unfunded liabilities? The US is a mirror image of Detroit.
