Frequently Asked Questions
What is quantitative easing, anyway?
Quantitative easing is like a magic trick where we, the Central Bank of Neo-Brutalia, create money out of thin air and use it to buy stuff we like.
Why do you need to print so much money?
Because the economy is like a leaky faucet that needs constant watering. And by 'constant watering', we mean 'constant inflationary pressure that threatens to turn the entire country into a giant ball of fire'.
Is it just a fancy way of saying "print more money"?
No, no, no. That's much too simplistic. It's more like... uh, "print money, then wave it around like a magic wand, and hope no one notices the inflation"
