Libya conflict + higher gas prices = possible QEIII ???

So QEI and QE part deaux (see Leslie Nielson) are all but over... many believe the sky will fall when QEII ends in June... due to the over extended treasuries, I personally set a reminder on my Outlook calendar to get the heck out of stocks no matter what before independence day this summer... but what if...

...what if the oil crisis has started a domino effect, thus changing the mindset of those calling for the early end to QEII... what if we now need QEIII to keep this thing going... is it possible that the Libyan conflict and rising gas prices may, in the long term, have ensured a QEIII??? and if so - will this help/hurt us in the long run???

So the 1st person, who lost her job at Harly Davidson is mad because we get a pension? Perhaps if she did something more productive in life than getting paid to turn a few bolts, she'd still have a job. IMO, the only people who are really complaining about people with pensions are the uneducated who are being put out of work by a trained monkey who can do their job.

"Boohoo...I lost my job and now anyone else who has a job is my enemy." Ironic that I'm sure she's the same one who protests against the vanishing middle class.

Well, they never seem to want to tell the whole story. They always have a spin to it. I am curious as to why this story even came up?

That is too bad.
