Is The Fed Playing Election-Year Politics? |
by Mark Weisbrot

Mr. Greenspan probably knows that inflation is rising, but doesn't want to see that increase reflected in long-term interest rates until after the election. He also doesn't want pressure to raise short-term rates -- which the Fed controls directly and is holding at a 46- year low of 1 percent -- before the election.
To fully appreciate how unusual it is for the Fed to be soft-pedaling inflationary risks when they are staring us in the face, keep in mind that for central bankers inflation is synonymous with "The Great Satan." In the past the Fed has choked off growth and even triggered recessions in order to fight real or imagined threats of even small increases in the rate of inflation. |

If you’ve got a few extra minutes, I’d encourage you to look into the case of Dr. Ramona Miller at http://www.drmillertruth.org/ . This has got to be one of the most disgusting miscarriages of justice I’ve read about in recent memory. |
