Cus I knew you were looking for me  :watchingyou:  ;) ....

The same thing we've always done, but hopefully better.  There are few 'new' problems in the world and we need to stop acting like we found a new one.  When Bernake was made Fed Chairman it was said that he was very much a 'Greeenspan' kinda guy, but more of an inflation hawk.  So, I am still assuming he knows when to stop the valve from opening - per his label of being an inflation control kinda guy.

Then again, we all know reporting is not always accurate  [sm_devil]

new overly optimistic  fed predictions put  "inflation rate" (we all know this is uselessly measured) above gdp growth rate.   hahah, brilliant!

new overly optimistic  fed predictions put  "inflation rate" (we all know this is uselessly and intentionally short-measured anyways) above gdp growth rate.   hahah, brilliant!


which of course, in real $  means recession.   which when using more accurate inflation metrics, means big nasty recession.
