Why yes, Uncle Al, we'll hand you a whole half-point increase. We crave a recession. we want high employment & misery. Can we have more homeless too?
You want to talk about manipulation? How about Big Oil manipulating production numbers so Dubya Shrubya can win an election, no matter who gets hurt?
There, there widdew Georgie, dud dat makeum feel aw better?
Seriously, handing the Fed this half point means traders and investors, in pursuit of the next bargain, are complicit in the attempt to have a recession next winter.
I say we all need to step up and buy. Capitulation is for sissies. |
