that's a real big HO HO HO -- >>An important and interesting implication is that, under a properly designed and implemented monetary policy regime, the key social objectives of price stability and maximum employment tend to be mutually reinforcing rather than competing goals. << Masters of the business cycle, eh? I think he believes in widely separating "what they do" and "what they say" -- surely he doesn't believe the BS he spouts??!! Send 'em all to Afghanistan or Iraq ...

<<"Constrained Discretion" and Monetary Policy>> ROTFL! As opposed to limitless punchbowl spiking and glue bong huffing! I believe there's a song for every occassion. In this case, this one goes out to Ben Bernanke....remember Ben, the life you save might be yer own. Don't drink and drive (monetary policy)!<G> I can't remember why I like this feeling When it only seems to let me down Soon I find I'm searching for the exit from the ground If I think the room is turning faster Then I think the music is too loud By then I've lived another broken story to let me down When those doors swing open and Monetary Base is passed around When half the party moves into the bathroom...hold me down Or if you're at the tail end of the evening And Dr. Feelgood comes around Anytime the pickins look too easy...hold me down Down if I want that part Down if I've gone too far Well I guess I must have just been reeling When I felt the 'Dung begin to fall I realize I'm bounding down the hallways and off the walls If depression's standing in the corner I could just fall into it right now And know that I'd just be staring at the debt ceiling going round When those doors swing open and Monetary base is passed around Anytime the pickins look too easy...hold me down (Adapted from "Hold Me Down", words and music by Doug Hopkins and Robin Wilson).
