For example, the Fed's purchase of long-term Treasury securities, intended to reduce long-term interest rates to encourage corporations to borrow and spend more money. Thus, helping the economy and creating more jobs. Also, individuals would be willing to borrow more money. Potential home buyers would be more interested if long-term interest rates were lower. We have seen the unemployment rate decrease, firms growing, and new businesses arising. Incredible record low
