The wage pressure issue has been of interest to me lately. I recall a few years ago when the employment rate (US) began to approach current levels. Then, there was much commentary--plastered everywhere--about the certain inflationary effects of a tight labour market. The commentators were wrong, then. Where the heck are they now?

On the assumption that Greenspan's sleep disturbance is due to wage pressure and not domestic activities, one cure would be to hike continue tighter money (m3) AND institute a SERIES of .25 rate hikes. One rate hike would not, IMHO, provide him with the requisite nostrum.

Ciao,
