Cause(s) for Pause(s)

If you haven't yet noticed the spells of malaise and fatigue (economically speaking) that seem to occur near/shortly after the end of the Fed's quantitative easing programs...you probably should start to notice.  There comes a point, and the BOJ can affirm this, when accomodative policy starts to become the cause of market weakness - as opposed to the antidote.  The dynamics are deep...but this can happen.  QE3 will bring a unique set of risks that may include unintended market havoc.

I leave you with two questions to quietly ponder:

Could it be possible that our economy cannot thrive  function normally without support from the Federal Reserve?  

If you can control the US economy, does that make you more powerful than the US lawmakers?
