Can you believe the American voting public reelected ANYONE to the US Senate and House?
What were they thinking?

That was one of the aims of Fed's quantitative easing, according to the central bank's Chairman, Ben Bernanke. Writing in the op-ed pages of Thursday's Washington Post, Bernanke asserted: "Lower corporate bond rates will encourage investment."
I infer Bernanke contends lower borrowing costs would induce increased investment in the economic sense, in plant and equipment to expand productive capacity and, ultimately, employment.
But Coke had different plans. It used the proceeds from its bargain-basement borrowings to pay for a tender offer for higher-yielding debt following its acquisition of the North American operations of its biggest bottler, Coca-Cola Enterprises (NYSE: CCE - News) In other words, it was a shuffling of corporate assets, greatly assisted by ultra-cheap credit, rather than a job-creating expansion.
While the Fed's actions are facilitating these financial transactions and fattening Wall Street's year-end bonus pool, it is having severe impacts on the rest of the world. The flood of dollar's is driving down the U.S. currency's exchange rate and driving up those of other countries. Some of which are resisting, notably Australia and India, which raised interest rates earlier this week ahead of the Fed's actions.
