It goes back to Schumpeter. Policy doesn't permit a choice between recession or no recession, only a choice of recession or worse recession later. i'm not sure from reading this piece on jim rogers, why he says a rate cut would PUSH the u.s. economy into recession The creation of additional monetary inflation inevitably results in CPI measured inflation - either through a declining currency, rising long term interest rates, movement of capital out of the US economy, cost rises due to commodity speculation, or current demand for goods and services which exceed supply. The way in which this occurs isn't really relevant because the result is basically the same - loss of production and jobs, recession. Look at the unemployment rate in Zimbabwe. If monetary inflation could prevent recession, Zimbabwe would have the lowest unemployment rate in the world. .
