I disagree with Massie on one point: I don’t think they using ‘secret math’ or math at all.
While I don’t disagree with his criticism, at least with the Fed (1) the direct relationship between their actions and the consequent effect on the economy is widely understood; (2) there is, as a result, a lot of attention paid to their actions.
Neither of those things are true for most of the rest of the non-elected bureaucratized deep state. So that worries me much more.
