Remember,theFedistheUSCentralBank.SowhyisYellensuddenlysofocusedon“global”issues?Fortheanswer,letusturnbackto2012:thelasttimetheUShadaPresidentialelection.InSeptember2012,theUSunemploymentratewasinasharpdowntrendhavingjusthit7.8%(comparedto9.0%inSeptember2011and9.5%inSeptember2010).Moreover,GDPgrowthwasexpandingatanannualizedrateof2.0%.Despitetheseclearlypositivetrends,then-FedChairmanBenBernankedecidedtolaunchQE3:anongoingQEprogramof$40billionpermonth.TheBernankeFeddidthisasacoordinatedeffortwiththeECB,whichannouncedtheverysameweekthatitplannedtobuyan“unlimited”amountofdebtviaitsOMTprogram.WhywastheFedcoordinatinganewmajormonetaryprogramwiththeECBdespitetheclearevidencetheUSeconomywasimprovingdramatically?Simple:theFedreceiveditsordersfromonhigh,asdidtheEU:
