Federal Reserve – Press Release, 9/13/2012 To support a stronger economic recovery and to help ensure that inflation, over time, is at the rate most consistent with its dual mandate, the Committee agreed today to increase policy accommodation by purchasing additional agency mortgage-backed securities at a pace of $40 billion per month.

It’s like pulling back a rug and discovering beetles and bugs crawling around underneath. You can’t put the rug back and tell yourself there aren’t bugs under there anymore.

Reuters - At Jackson Hole, a growing fear for Fed independence Increasing political encroachment on the Federal Reserve, particularly from the Republican Party, could threaten the central bank’s hard-won independence and undermine confidence in the nearly 100-year old institution.

Charles Lane: The Failing Case for Gold As history abundantly demonstrates, the gold standard would not immunize the economy from financial crises. Imposing it would, however, render the central bank powerless to respond to them, as it could not readily expand credit or act as lender of last resort to solvent institutions. Here is another [...]
