>Today I listened to someone discuss "quantitative easing", the printing, printing, printing of money with no backing. Causes big time inflation eventually, like happened in the late 70's.
Sounds like you've been listening to Peter Schiff, or one of the other gold bugs. It's best to consider that Pete might have an agenda, considering he's in the business of selling gold-based investments. A few years ago, Schiff was predicting massive inflation and $5000 gold.

It's a way to effectively lower interest rates further when they're already close to zero. The US Federal Reserve is most likely done with QE; it has done its job to bring down unemployment. If QE was the disaster Schiff claims it to be, Japan and Europe wouldn't be using it now.
