“We know … what happens when the [central bank] starts to manipulate the financial markets by printing money. Interest rates do fall, which crushes savers. And pension funds get hit too, meaning larger liabilities for some companies and bankruptcies for others. The side-effect of rock-bottom interest rates is sky-high asset prices, delivering a windfall for the richest. It’s the best subsidy scheme ever devised for the 1 per cent.
“QE is a magic wand of inequality.”
~ Fraser Nelson, ‘Forget QE. Theresa May should cut taxes f she wants to drive growth. – TELEGRAPH.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
