Mark, I think the Fed has been superseded by the bond vigilantes at this point in the economic scam. With extraordinary debt loads, it wouldn't take much of a rise to shoot this non-recovery recovery in the foot. Or head.

With secular victory over inflation achieved, and with secular productivity promises to be pursued, Greenspan has tightened for the last time of his career. He'll live to eat those words. I just received a notice that my health insurance premium is being raised over 25% after staying level for six years. Steel makers and chip makers trying to raise prices in the depths of a recession....stop me if I'm wrong, don't you usually raise prices at the top of an expansion? The FED will not have a choice. If the dollar slides further off its peak all those cheap imports that are keeping a lid on inflation will become more expensive. Right now cheap oil is masking what is going on with prices. All the money that the FED created is going somewhere, it sure isn't going into productive assets with C&I loans continuing to plummet month after month.
