I was asking that as a sincere question. My understanding is that the Fed isn't responsible for regulating the stock market and this goes to the heart of my question on this thread yesterday. The Fed obviously knows that they are inflating the bubble and that it will have to end in tears eventually. So the question was, "what is the bigger disaster that they are hoping to avert?". Is it the domino effect of international Y2K disasters? Failure of financial institutions? Depression? Recession? Deflation? War?

What is it that he sees, that is so ominous that he would be willing to risk both inflation and the bursting of the bubble?

I don't know enough about this stuff to make an informed decision, but this doesn't preclude me from asking questions based on what I see as a disconnect in logic from the fed. And instead of assuming that the fed has somehow gone crazy, I am trying to look at it from the standpoint that maybe the disconnect is that I don't see the entire picture.

Personally, I believe in the free market and object to government (or government sponsored) intervention. But we have the reality of the fed today.
