Actually, in fact what you were saying was right, US did tried to get out of the QE situation before, but what you cannot see yourselves is the situation in 2008 is when that's the time we started to roll over, not yet in the valley, our economy bottomed up about 2010-2011 after QE3. In effect both QE1 and QE2 were a holding stragety so the market would not get wrose and to a term out of control
While QE3 is the open ended stragety that started to pull back the economy.
Although as far as the situation goes, I would probably delay or reform the process of QAe3 so it does impact our economiy and create a mini-crash, because the long term problem is not how we get out of the debt or what QE3 is doing, which is trying to deal with the bottom line consequence, but rather the problem lies in the irresponsible financial regulation. We need a crash so that we can weep out the bad seed and for people to know what was indeed happening, and we will most definitely recover from a mini-crash anyway (it's not our money to begin with) but if QE3 can do what we hope to do, we may not need a mini-crash after all.
Actually, it's the foreign government who should wish for the success of QE3, cause if we crash, china and Japan will crash with us. Well consider 40+% ofour debt is owed by foreign government.
If you look at QE3 article in 2012 and 2013, you will notice there were a lot of doubt in 2012, but it's almost uniformly bright , it said the QE3 is working
