   Why businesses are hoarding money

   No question good businesses are hoarding money, not investing much,   
   laying off the people they don't need and generate little tax generating   
   activity.   
      
   With interest rates so low, it also lower the earnings bar.  And with a   
   low earnings bar, stagnant environment and high tax threat risks, they   
   do the safe thing and stay in cash.   
      
   Many companies are seeing inflationary pressures on the supply side, yet   
   the market is resisting price increases, squeezing profits.  Less   
   profits means less taxes and revenue.  To weather this, keep cash.   
      
   Fact is QE and zero rates are fueling the problem, and not eliminating   
   it.  4 years of Bernanke Doctrine and no results should say it all.  But   
   statism government doesn't get it.  I do, Bernanke policy is an abysmal   
   failure.   
      
   I must share this opinion, as minutes after Bernanke made todays   
   announcement, the market took a rapid 400 point swing to the negative.   
   Clearly these idiots are out of touch.   
      
   It is clear if government wants more revenue from an active economy, the   
   ponzi fraud policies need to end.  Money print fraud needs to end,   
   interest rates need to rise to fair rates to provide stability and an   
   environment worth investing in.   
      
   But statism is myopic, and I don't expect the needed changes will occur.   
     It is as if the government/banks are at war with peoples incomes,   
   trying to inflate their way out of debt.money!!!! Yep, the markets are   
   aware of this fraud.   
      
   --   
   Seems like paying your bills with real money is no longer the accepted   
   behavior in USA.  Perhaps that is the problem and not the the solution.
