Stockman asks if it is possible to "restore (ing) the central bank's original mission: to provide liquidity in times of crisis but never to buy government debt or try to micromanage the economy. Getting the Fed out of the financial markets is the only way to put free markets and genuine wealth creation back into capitalism."
As noted in the American Thinker article of March 29th, the Fed has become something it once was not. Not only have they expanded their balance sheet, they have assumed new powers under emergency conditions, then made them permanent. They have focused on some mandates while ignoring others. This is quite a brew Ben has in his caldron. But now Bernanke may be more focused on his own exit strategy rather than from the Fed's apparently inextricable situation. There is no feasible way to drain this punch bowl.
"Blandishments will not fascinate us, nor will threats of a "halter" intimidate. For, under God, we are determined that wheresoever, whensoever, or howsoever we shall be called to make our exit, we will die free men." -- Josiah Quincy

ReplyDeleteWe have Immigration laws. My wife and I have paid thousands and struggled for 3 years to gain her citizenship. This is the law and we are obeying it. If the spped sign says 70 and you drive 90 you are breaking the law. Do you think the officer or judge will listen to an appeal for Amnesty. Try it with stealing, murder or rape. They are all crimes for the good of society. We can't pick and choose the laws we follow. Rubio is politically dead if he caves into the Liberals and accepts Illegals as citizens of this country.
