"But Boyd, correctly in my view, said that continuing to pump money into the system and keeping rates low is akin to the following medical example: A farmer has his leg crushed by a heavy machine. When he enters the emergency room, he is told that the only way the bleeding can stop is to amputate his leg. But not having the heart to do it, the hospital keeps pumping blood into his body with the result that the patient eventually dies. In other words, our financial system will, given time, self destruct if the same artificial means of keeping our economy and banking system alive are continued."
