"The plural of thief is thieves."
This follows absolutely no rule in English. It is an exception made for a historical reason that is no longer traceable.
The English rules are as follows:
1) When the f is preceded by a consonant, change the f to v and add -es
Elf = Elves
2) When the f is preceded by a vowel, add -s
Chief = Chiefs
Exception) Thieves

You're just making this all up. Have you been smoking too much crack in the southie projects and now you're cooking up conspiracy theories? The prime implementer of quantitative easing in the United States was Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke who is a Republican and was originally appointed by the Republican president, George W. Bush.
You are right that the democrats have embraced QE, however
what's unusual about the current Democratic embrace of QE (and the current Republican opposition to it) is that quantitative easing is a descendant of the monetarist philosophy of the libertarian Republican economist, Milton Friedman.
The democrats have simply been pragmatic and realize that they needed to support QE in order to advert an imploding financial economy due to a liquidity crisis caused by the housing market crash. They supported even while realizing that policy would mean saving the very banking institutions that created the crisis. Banking institutions that are very much the mutant children of republican financial policies that created the modern investment bank.
My observations revolve around the interpretation of decisions, incentives, and decisions - I do not see conspiracy theories - just a dance of institutions and individuals and their quest to maximize utility.
I had this conversation earlier - do not confuse "republican" and "conservatism" - they overlap in some areas but not all. In addition, I'm liberal on a lot of social issues. Your categorization is inherently flawed - please read again: your categorization is inherently flawed - a lot of you out there make this mistake!
The financial crisis was not caused or exacerbated by the banking industry. Flawed liberal economic policy wanted undeserving people to own homes - and they had Frannie Mae and Feddie Mac to institute this belief - everything that followed this could not have happened without this liberal underpinning.
Everything you think you know about what happened is generally predicated on an article by Rolling Stone - so shut up. Also, Bill Clinton repealed Glass-Steagall (a policy I actually support given the government support that the banking industry continues to receive) - so there goes that "republican are bad, democrats are good" arguments.
Liberals - one of you stand up. Who's there?
Hello I am a Consevative StrawMan. Please come wow me with your outstanding facts and logic.
Sometimes my mom lets me use her car to go to my mini minimum wage job.
She always complains that when she goes to work the next morning, the car smells like farts.
I have to ride my bike now.
