We’ve really failed very badly in having honest politics, so we have this gross and very grave debt problem. Now everyone has decided, the Bank of England, the Fed, and the European Central Bank, who are utterly brilliant people that have led us to the mess we are in, they’ve all decided that the solution is quantitative easing. The solution is to go on printing and creating false money in an attempt to buy our way out of the (ongoing) crisis, actually compounding the problem.”
