Quantitative easing

Quantitative easing. I love this term. It has potential. Like ‘zeitgeist’ or ‘tango on my tastebuds’, it’s a phrase that goes above and beyond the ordinary linguistic needs of everyday communication.
In its current context it’s used to describe how the US is dry humping the global economy - it means America is printing money. It’s the only country in the world that can – without devaluing its currency (or so it thinks).
So what do I have in my life that I can simply produce or create to ease my problems quantitavely, in a crisis?
I figure, only love.
