Duke, remarkably well written and cogent article (for a major U.S. daily).

The upshot is that we're not in an inventory correction, we're in a secular bear, and the excesses will have to be worked off by means other than printing money. Or put simply, BubbleBoy is pushing on a string and likely only succeeding in making the underlying issues (consumer and commercial indebtedness, rising commodity prices, overconsumption/undersavings and malinvestment) worse.

The Fed is handling this incorrectly, and it will end very, very badly.

EDIT: Say hello to Mortimer and Randolph for me!<G>
