The interesting thing is it’s going to make the rich people richer and the middle and lower class won’t be any better off, which is the opposite of what the administration is trying to pull off,” adding that being in stocks “is not your choice,” thanks to Fed repression and that deficit contraction is all that can stop the Fed now.
