bernanke's optimal credit machine
how should the fed
decide about interest rates
and money supply ?
bilge ben sez:
plug in the best model
NOW PLAYING around town
and let it rip up the data
and spit you out
"the optimal gage number settings " ....
problem:
if these models were a brake system
they'd
work fine so long
as you really just want to
take
your foot off the gas
but fuck
if you
need to actually stop
especiallly stop fast .....

inflation targeting
price change targets
are really
wage control devices ...
in the long run
only wages can push prices
continuously
as the wagery like so many hounds
chase
the profiteers
up the price pole
but that remains unspoken
long as it can
and even so
the crank may need
a turn or two
towards "tight"
even when
the spot rate of inflation
has clearly come
unhinged from
the trend rate
set by wage gains
as it has this past year .....

penetrate and catch

caveat candide:
don't make the mistake
of thinking
this was the system
out of its humor
running along
un accustomed trails ...
this was prolly close

dangerous thinker
bernanke on '29 :
"Without these policy blunders
by the Federal Reserve
, there is little reason to believe
that the 1929 crash
would have been followed
by more than a moderate dip
in U.S. economic activity,"
" moderate dip"
put him back then
in the chair
and he could have engineered
a soft landing
shortly followed by
another take off
wowza wowza wowza
like a modern doctor reviewing
the 14th century out brake
of the bubonic plague
