I wonder how long the Fed will keep talking about normalization of policy. If they stick with that, then this market will keep going down. I thought you wanted them to normalize policy? And most importantly, it will prove that this recovery never was real, but rather, it was a figment of the Fed's massive stimulus. WW2 was a massive government stimulus that got us out of the depression. What is "real" to you? What magic do you expect to see to get us out of recessions without monetary policy?

MIndmeld let me give you anentirely different way of looking at the fed, interest rates and free markets. The human species is commander of its own destiny now, in todays world. We have to learn to take control of more than our economies which is very complicated. More than most realize. We have to take control of everything! Our ecology, pollution, population control, AGW, and on and on. Everything. So the idea of a libertarian world is no longer even possible. To survive as a species, we need to function as one people on one planet. We need a united states of the world. So we can keep population increase checked, pollution in check, ecologies in check. Everything. We need planners to work all this stuff out and a compliant population. I ahve had so many deiscussions with people who simply do not understand the problems or solutions. What the trick is going to be, is doing that without an Orwellian outcome! Which is exactly where the right wing is going, ironically.
