Wake-Up Call For B-Dud And The New York Fed Staff – This Isn’t “Transitory”
The “in-coming” data turned into a blizzard of bad news today, but the Cool Aid dispensers at the New York Fed urged us not to fret—–it was all a temporary blip: New York Fed staff economists said in a new report growth should regain some of its swagger after stumbling during a chilly first quarter…… it believes first-quarter weakness […]

Danish Proposal The Latest Salvo In The War On Cash
The war on cash continues to heat up with a proposed law in Denmark that would open the door to what Jim Leaviss called “the first step towards an economic revolution that sees physical currencies and normal bank accounts abolished,” in a recent Telegraph column.
