China's debt holdings

again, this belongs in "current events" "monetary policy" and "global news & economics" - which I move be condensed into one topic: "global and national economics"

Oops wrong article, hate this phone...http://www.resourceinvestor.com/News/2011/5/Pages/QE3-Has-Already-Started-.aspx

Or is it already here: http://www.zerohedge.com/article/qe3-has-already-started

The joke is that there's any real difference in what dems and repubs want, or that either one of them represent any sort of real fix.

Seems like we're between a rock and a hard place here. I've got my popcorn ready for the "yay or nay" QE3 announcement. Am curious as to the exact nature of the impending shitstorm.

this could also go in monetary policy and current events, we may have to downsize our threads. we have so few people at this point we could wait on the subtopics and just divide it by each individual thread. just an idea.
