If the Recession Has Ended, Why Is the Fed So Worried?

"...After all before QE1 the Fed didn’t consider Japan’s intervention experience with stock market and real estate bubbles. Instead, they insisted there was no bubble in the U.S.

Then when the bubble did burst, they used the exact policy as the Japanese did to fight the aftermath. And just like Japan, the Fed’s efforts failed.

Now by continuing to ignore Japan’s “lost decade” it looks like the Fed is about to do the same thing once again. And if they follow through on their promise, the weak U.S. economy could easily be headed for a further slowdown that amplifies the problems that already exist..."
