"Personally I find it fascinating that the fed are still wringing their hands on inflation while Rome burns."

Would you suggest the Fed lower rates and crush the dollar sending oil through the roof? Lower rates by greenspan is what started this mess.

I don't think Rome is burning yet. The liquidity crunch as many call it, has removed some marginal player from the mortgage market. The S&P500 shedding the gains from the last 6 month isn't exactly a disaster either. We need to go down another 10% until we can call this correction a bear market. Maybe then it's time to call the cavalry.

Maybe the Fed plan is to wipe out so
much wealth in the market melt down
that inflation will be tamed?

Who are they kidding anyway, everything
that I buy is up 12 to 20%. More, if
you include health insurance and health
care.

What exactly does the Fed consider inflation
to be?
