<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 970703, member: 26302&quot;]Good points. As a contrarian I would point out all of the new financial regulation will increase costs and decrease profits on the banks, as well as remove a lot of extended credit to consumers. Also, it does not matter how much money the Fed pushes into the system. The Japanese Central Bank pushed even more into their system, and it just sat there. Consumer appetite for debt is the other half of the equation. If consumers of capital do not have confidence in the economy, they will not borrow regardless of all the QE you can throw at them. If consumers have confidence, then QE will increase inflation. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am not saying which way it will go, and agree that it would most likely lead to inflation, just pointing out the other half needed for QE to induce inflation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
