That would be only delaying the issue, as QE is a program of buying bonds with imaginary money, not giving out the imaginary money for free. Bonds have maturity dates.
I'm not sure about that. Buying bonds is merely one of many mechanisms to stimulate demand in the assumption we are in a demand poor crisis. Demand in Greece is sooo depressed because of the enormous debt that relieving it at all will have a positive demand experience.

I think I agree with downthread - finances as a form of control - it's a banker mentality.
