Keith.

((The FED has inspired almost every economic calamity by overtightening monetary policy to the point where people can't pay their mortgages. This is the problem with FED policy. To fight higher oil prices, they are jacking up mortgage rates so that no one can afford to pay their mortgage. That is insane!!))

Hang on here. What about the credit expansion that led to the prices rising in the first place? Is this not a more fundamental disease than how the Fed treats the symptoms once the patient is terminally ill.

See Doug Noland's Credit Bubble Bulletin piece this weekend: "More than Twenty Years in the Making":

Not saying Noland is always predicts the correct outcome, but I certainly agree with his diagnosis of the problem.
