    They should just combine to be the S&M. Then economics might be a little more fun.

          Let's all marvel at the Fed's incompetence. How far below trend are we on CPI/expected future CPI now?

          The Fed ALMOST got inflation expectations back up to their pre-recession average in April of this year, but since then they've let them slide 60bps

          Awesome.
          5 yr tips spread down another 10 bps. Who will stop the ben bernank before he tightens the money supply again? Has this madman no sense of decency?

                5 yr nominal yield down to 84bps. 5 yr tips spread down to 1.76%

                When will the ben bernank's tight money policy end?

                      Yes, because avoiding an unnecessary recession is pandering to the banks.

                      5yr tips spreads now at 1.7%

                        BB is just holding out until I can exchange some dollars for peso next week. Then I'm sure he'll start to think about these lesser concerns.

                          So, here comes the double-dip, eh?

                          Lovely.

                          KH to the Fed. Kuci to the OBM. Tupak as WH press secretary.

                          Yeah, yeah, I'm tipsy. Sue me.

                          As for Obama's mistakes: I think the admin was fundamentally correct to view healthcare reform as the big enchilada when it comes to the long-term budget problem. But they chose a reform that strikes me as unlikely to acheive the savings required, and they spent a really long time getting it done, and didn't get much else done during that time.

                          The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

                            **** yes; I can't wait to call Congress a bunch of *****.

                            Kuci to the OBM.


                            I assume you meant OMB, put OPM is also possible.

                              Matt Taibbi: A whistle blower says the agency has illegally destroyed thousands of documents, letting financial crooks off the hook.


                              I know it is rollingstone, but some of the statements seem to suggest severe wrong doing/etc, and provides another part of the reason why this drop has been so bad and so lasting.
