Pusillanimous Powell’s Gigantic Lie, Part 1

We have never heard more gibberish, double talk and lies from one podium than issued from Chairman Powell at yesterday’s presser.

There is no other way to say it: The Fed has become a dangerous rogue institution which has usurped plenary power over the financial system based on implicit theories that will eventually and inexorably lead to a massive speculative blow-off, even as it sucks the vitality out of the main street economy in the interim.
