Even though the UK parliament has rejected Prime Minister's bid to authorize the use of military force against Syria for its illegal use of WMDs against his own people, American President Barack Obama has stated that he still believes that the U.S. should do something to punish Bashar Assad for his decision to use chemical weapons against innocent men, women and children in Damascus and in other sites around Syria. Of course, the UN Weapons Inspectors have yet to give the United Nations their report which may or may not indicate the use of chemical weapons. And since they only arrived at the scene of the suspected attacks nearly 5 days after it occurred, there is a high chance that they found nothing, as the gases and chemicals in question would have simply disappeared in the intervening time. Of course, if any trace of these weapons was used, then President Obama might feel more justified in launching various weapons at Syrian military targets. And yet despite all of this tension in international politics, the municipal bonds market has seen its values move in greater volumes than might be normally expected at this time of year. This is not due to the US-Syrian debacle. Instead, it is due to the highly anticipated upcoming decision by the Fed on their plan to slow down and eventually stop buying back bonds and other assets, which has been contributing some $85 Billion into the American economy since more than five years, when many banks were hours or days away from collapse. And so, this editorial cartoon shows the Grim Reaper following two men in suits, who are walking in what appears to be a downward direction.
