Re:If wages are to rise, workers need more bargaining power by vanderZwan on Wednesday June 06, 2018 @12:13PM (#17248333)
I'm sorry but this statement is full of FUD.

Printing money is what central banks do. It's what every Eurozone nation used to do with their own money as well before switching to the Euro. So unless you can explain what the ECB does differently that makes this worse than the central banks before it, you don't really have much of an argument.

Is it printing money faster than the central banks before it did? If so, give some numbers and sources please.

And in general, be explicit about your claims, because as written you're practically suggesting that the Eurozone is acting like the Weimar Republic.

ECB, FED and the Swiss National Bank have been "printing" money but not the same as before. They're only using it to buy securities, first bonds, and now even stocks/index ETFs.

Search "FED balance sheet vs S&P" or something similar. E.g. http://whattheythink.com/data/84893-feds-balance-sheet/
