The real estate component of QE III is just cover for the underlying devaluation ("quantitative easing") of the US dollar.

BFI - It's KrugMAN, not Kruger. You have no idea what the man's name is, but you're confident he's wrong. That's why it's a beautiful example of the Dunning-Kruger effect. It's a heady mix of ignorance, confidence, belligerence, and arrogance.

When I was a little kid, everyone told me to just "be myself." It turns out, in my heart of hearts, I'm a raging asshole.

Is this the same Kruger responsible for current US economic policy by which the stupid Keynesians got it in their heads that they can keep the economy running hot forever by continuing to tweak knobs on all the bubbles so they never pop?  (QE3 is an attempt to re-inflate the already busted housing bubble)

No, that was someone else, but you've beautifully demonstrated this effect.

LOL.  Gotta love that one.

That was rather well played, and enlightening.

Of course, such things only increase my relative knowledge of topics, so no matter.
