"TO all The FED watchers: Good reading!"

LOL!! It's astonishing that someone with so little grasp of the basic laws of supply and demand, not to mention monetary policy, could get published by the WSJ.

"...the excessive growth of the monetary base did push
interest rates...way too high."


Excess supply leads to higher prices? Excuse me???

"The Fed is now doing everything correctly. If it were to once again grow the monetary base too rapidly our short-term euphoria would come back, at the risk of long-term inflation and economic stagnation like that of the 1970s. By maintaining stable, modest growth in the monetary base, the Fed will help the economy start to recover and secure our longer-term prosperity."

Perhaps this guy isn't up on his current events. Since Mid-November the monetary base has been expanding faster than it did for y2k or even the LTCM fiasco.

Really, you should post this over on CFZ. It's a Laffer!
