Fearing deflation, the Federal Reserve appears poised to adopt quantitative easing measures. The Fed is widely expected to print new money and buy Treasury bonds, hence increasing the money supply.

The New York Times calls on President Obama and Congress to adopt new stimulus measures to kick start the economy. “To put millions of Americans back to work, a lot more needs to be done. Mr. Bernanke can’t do it alone.”
