of course Benny, you knew that QE 1 and 2 would fail, so you will come up with QE3 (maybe by another name translated from >>> accommodative monetary policies are still needed...keynesian economics on steroids)

Inflation under control?

Art, you think right, but one problem. It's not enough, unfortunately, nobody wants to suffer the pain, from old (medicare) to young who don't want more taxes. but it's one of the things they should do. In DC they think different and don't care what the people think. That's another problem. Raising taxes is political suicide, you know that, but as you know in reality they already doing that by printing more digital money that's not worth anything. Sigh, I need a drink.
