regular jill and joe face credit constraint
leave that headline up
til it sinks in
its not all about rates of interest either
its about the bulk credit ration
allowed to geep household borrowers
watch as the fed skins
tighten the standards and chop amounts
and remember forest rangers
all this can go down
behind a stable set of interest rates ......
===========================
of course to maintain effective demand over all
becomes problematic
if wages don't spurt
or exports explode
cause the outside world craves our shit
and/or exports further blem up
and imports get squoozen
by a rapid and deep
dollar tumble
or gubmint don't increase expendiutures
or reduce taxes
or corporate amerika goes on a plant and equipment
building tear
we're headed for stagnatory waters
fellow citizens ....... prepare
to snooze if your rich or lucky
and sink if u ain't
