IMO QE3 should have been instituted months ago to avoid political
inferances. If the USA wants to avoid a Moody downgrade in credit rating then it has to improve its GDP to debt ratio. Since there is little chance of a balanced/surplus budget anytime soon, the only hope is to lift GDP.
The first effect of QE3 will be a drop in value of the $US ( its happening now in anticipation of QE ) which will make exports
more internationally competitive and gradually improve employment. At this stage, the inflation downside is not significant.
So in summary, my guess is QE3 tomorrow packaged in a fancy wrapper with
a catchy title.
