Kudlow has always had it right. By the time the fed gets the rate to where they want it.. they'll have to chase their tails like hell to keep the economy from taking a long hiatus. I too have always believed that:

1) the fed is not letting past increases work into the system
2) that the fed should let markets operate efficiently.

The fed rate tool should be put into the junk pile. Has it ever been used successfully? NEvermind... don't answer that... I just note that the times we've had recessions (so I'm told) were a result of fed rate moves.

arno:

I have steadfastly believed that the Administration
would pressure Greenspan, but not in that direction
precisely because Gore needs to point to a healthy
economy.

Does this theory suggest that the bigger concern
is that, if people feel too good about the
economy and with everyone working, etc., the
need for hyper-liberal social programs would diminish,
thus infringing on traditional Democratic constituencies?

Wow! I didn't see that one coming!
