It's Called Quantitative Easing

I heard it in the headlines

It's news all over town

We might be double dippin'

Green shoots have all turned brown

It's a balance sheet recession

With a housing overhang

But they've got a brand new program

And it will start you with a bang

And it's called, quantitative easing

They say results are always pleasing.

When liquidity all starts freezing

Just warm things up with quantitative easing

I will say it straight and simple

It's clear, just like a bell

There's some long term bonds to buy

There's some short term bonds to sell

Don't talk about the good times

Don't ask me where they went

Just move your inflation target

On up to three point five per cent

And it's called, quantitative easing

This ain't no joke, it ain't no teasing

When the GDP starts wheezing

Treat with a shot of quantitative easing

Good and magic things will happen

It might take a week or three

Unemployment plunging downward

Recovery shaped just like a V

You'll see Nobels at the Treasury

There'll be rock stars at the Fed

It'll take hair off of Krugman's face

Put it on top of Ken Rogoff's head

And it's called, quantitative easin'

This ain't no scam, so don't call no policeman

When the engine of commerce starts seizin'

Just add a quart or quantitative easin'

Show no mercy to the critics

Don't let no one stop your nerve

You can mock Ricardian Equivalence

You can laugh at the Laffer Curve

Tell that guy at the Minneapolis Fed

To shut up, or you'll break his legs

And if the Bond Vigilantes don't like it?

Well, they can go suck eggs

And it's called quantitative easin'

You know I say this for a reason

When the economy just sits there squeezing

Loosen things up with quantitative easing
