It boosts the consumer spending during the 1st quarter each year. Owe a penalty for Obamacare? Watch the IRS snap up that refund like they do now with student loans.Well Seasoned Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16670165728759453075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-51997530938932118282013-06-25T08:28:14.480-05:002013-06-25T08:28:14.480-05:00Quantitative Easing.

Stocks shooting up while the rest of the economy goes basically nowhere. The inflation is happening, it just isn't visible in all economic sectors equally yet. <br />Bubbles pop.
