But if the Fed engages in financial repression, like he's doing now by holding rates artificially low, that interest rate pricing signal is destroyed. It tells us nothing about the likelihood we'll get our money back if we invest.

What are you talking about? Corporate bonds are all over the place. You're getting 9% on your junk bonds reflecting the risk you are taking.

It literally goes to the heart of why the US has seen enormous prosperity as compared to other countries. We have valued free markets and have a foundation based on regulated free markets that has worked for 200+ years. Yet increasingly since 1929, the Fed has accrued more and more power....

Yeah the last 100 years have been a miserable time in US history. Geez....
