It’s an artificial stimulant for the economy, an antidepressant for investors who’ve suffered big losses, and a memory-blocker for bankers who helped cause the great debt crisis. Moreover, it does nothing to resolve the continuing — and growing — threats. So before the great forgettery of 2014 sets in, let me remind you about just the main ones.”
