Chicago Federal Reserve President Austan Goolsbee on Monday vowed that the central bank would react to signs of weakness in the economy and indicated that interest rates could be too restrictive now.

“The Fed’s job is very straightforward, maximize employment, stabilize prices and maintain financial stability. That’s what we’re going to do,” the central bank official said during an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” program. “We’re forward-looking about it. So if the conditions collectively start coming in like that on the through line, there’s deterioration on any of those parts, we’re going to fix it.”

We will put patches over the trash and other patches and you will see just how solid al of your investments are.

It’s sort of like putting sod over a junk yard and calling it a golf course, just with more pitfalls and actual traps.

Sure, QE 3 or whatever, bail out the banks and corporations, flood market with dollars that get parked back into stocks resulting in phoney values, massive inflation, real estate gets a little bump, decline begins again, repeat...

The Fed can't fix anything. Not even its own balance sheet.

Japan is really messed up. A crashing economy and a 0.25% interest rate. They have nowhere to go.

The germ of truth is they could fix it -- by reversing their policies of the last three years.

But they won't.

So in other words they’re going to “fix” an inflation-caused recession by bringing in even MORE inflation. Morons are leading us.

Yeah, they will fix things alright. Mandatory CBDC so they can make sure you spend your money wisely by tracking every purchase; and/or mandatory pooling of all 401Ks and savings accounts so monies can be distributed “fairly “.
