Ron Paul: Negative Rates Won't Rescue The Fed, Nor Will Pretending That Everything's Fine

Desperation continues at the Fed. They're expanding their balance sheet (again), but denying that it's QE, despite the fact that they've added almost $200 billion to their balance sheet in just a matter of days. Fed Chair Powell is also out-and-about pretending that everything is just fine. Central planners always box themselves into a corner. Neither lies, nor more counterfeiting can fix the troubles they've created.

Dr. Ron Paul is a physician and former twelve-term congressman from Texas who ran for president in 2008.
