I agree with the insanity part of what you're saying, but what are you talking about in the bolded part of your post?  I don't read the news and don't follow what the fed is doing.  Did they announce a new round of QE?  All of the stocks I own are actually up quite a bit today, and the stock market is up, marginally. 

A lot of people are indeed sheep, and I probably qualify as one of those.  As long as disaster hasn't hit yet, most of the population will feel comfortable--but yeah....all this money printing is absolutely ridiculous, and I'm not sure our leaders have an exit strategy for this, or if they do it's probably something very sinister.
