Japans Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has had his country printing more money than the Federal Reserve. In fact, the amount they have printed has made the Federal Reserve look like they barely print at all. Japan did this all to try and stimulate their economy through consumer spending. How? Let me explain. The idea of global Federal Reserve banks has been to create inflation. By creating inflation you increase prices. If the consumer knows that prices will be higher in the future, they will buy today. That is the theory at least...

Just days ago, Japan announced that instead of over 2% growth, their economy had shrunk by over 1%. This was a shock and should truly freak you the f^*k out. If the country that printed more money than anyone else just slipped into recession, what chance does Europe or the United States have? To take it a step even further, if printing that much money did not stimulate continued long term growth, does printing money even work? That may be the bigger thing to freak out about. Has the global Federal Reserve policy of printing money done anything but set us up for a major catastrophe. Time will tell and unfortunately, we all will find out and suffer the consequences if their 'theories' were wrong.
