Comment: What does this say about the current financial situation when you have the Fed injecting this much money just to keep the markets from crashing. These little bandaids will only work for so long and the Central Bankers know it. They create money out of nothing so they can keep printing more money and keep buying up the Dow Jones index stocks (through the plunge protection team) to keep the illusion of prosperity going. This over printing of US dollars will send the greenback to zero at some point and worthless paper and then introduce the North American currency "The AMERO".
