Bloodletting and The Federal Reserve

Credit to Peter Schiff:

Doctors used to think the way to cure someone was to perform a procedure called bloodletting (bleed them out). The problem is no one ever got better because of the procedure and many died.

Similarly, central bankers around the world think they can cure the economy by manipulating interest rates, essentially holding them at zero for years on end. They think Keynesian policies of "stimulating" the economy through money printing will fix the economy. The problem is no economies have ever improved because of these policies and many have collapsed.
