| | | Gene Inger submits:Consequences of low rates . . . persisting for so long, are either misunderstood or not grappled with adequately in the fiscal or monetary deliberations of this Country’s leadership. And if they are, nobody is listening intently. I’ve even heard indirectly that Paul Volcker (who does ‘get it’) is running around the White House trying to advise the leadership (including the President) of what is ‘really going on’ and the implications of it all. However, nobody appears to be listening, or they fail to understand the consequences of falling back on continuing tired approaches to policies in need of reparative action; and we don’t mean modest ‘tweaking’ of targeted funding as you may hear this week. The financial system remains broken, since our declaration of an ‘epic debacle’ back in May of 2007 (which still gave any investor who would listen time to circle wagons). In such environments fiscal policy is rendered less effective, as should be realized as opposed to the hand-wringing that acts surprised things aren’t effectively working. In fact (as oft-noted at ingerletter.com) the constant ‘carry trade’ stoking of bank liquidity beyond the ‘emergency’ needs or depositor protection, actually ended before the new Administration had a year in office; and definitely should have vanished before now.

But the story doesn't end there...Complete Story » Tue, 07 Sep 2010 03:39:19 -0400
