Of Course, There Will Be No QE3

by Smitty Ed Morrissey at Hot Air seems to think that there will be another round of quantitative easing, but then explains why it won’t happen: The “era of easy money” will have to come to an end at some point.

And “thank God” for that, says laid-off journalist-turned-blogger Susannah Breslin: This is what the state of journalism is today: a mess. Tell it, sister!
