been saying for weeks FedFunds is 20-35 bpt too tight

not sure that qualifies as brakes on
but it sure is NOT encouraging growth as policy response

ok, let's compromise
THE FED HAS ITS FOOT DRAGGING ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE

they are horribly incompetent, no question

I believe we are likely to see the stock market beg for lower rates
by begging I mean "decline with an appealing gesture toward GreenShit"

trouble is, Limmer, any GruenBum replacement might be worse
this could be Dubya's first chance to show leadership
and appoint a LAISSEZ-FAIRE Fed Chairman
not likely since these dismal scientists operate as a CABAL
