Not likely again before 2032. The political climate in the USA will have changed so much by 2017.9, it will be impossible for them to get away with another QE. The problem is confidence. Once the people have decided to exit stocks and put their cash under their mattress, then the Fed is powerless. What the government will have to do instead is stop people from getting cash to put under their mattress. This is why the coming attack on cash, capital controls, bail-ins, nationalization of pension plans, etc..
The shit coming is going to make you wish for QE. But your prayers will not be answered.
I have been trying to take the bull by the horns and
work on the crypto-coin attributes we will need coming 2017ish.
Let's say I'm government. You put cash under your mattress because you don't believe in government bonds nor do you believe in stocks anymore. I raise UST rates to 20% but you simply don't believe in government anymore and I can't keep the rate at 20% for very long without instantly being unable to service my debt. So I can't raise money anymore through UST. That leaves me with two options:
1) I hunt down your cash, raise real estate taxes, confiscate gold, etc.
2) I print money.
Isn't the problem with Option 1 that there's USD all over the world? Am I going to hunt down cash in the Caribbean, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, and all over the world? Option 1 seems a lot harder to pull off than Option 2. With Option 2, I just borrow money at 0%, use it for government spending (create governments jobs, finance huge government projects, service the debt) and stealthily (and heavily) tax everyone who is hoarding dollars through inflation. Only when that stops working am I forced to do Option 1.
