Fed Credibility Dwindles, Pension Funding Crisis Looms

Fed officials jawbone the markets and spread disinformation. They figure it’s part of their job as central planners.

This is “old news” to regular readers, as is the (obvious) conclusion that these corrupt/insolvent regimes will once again have to resort to History’s economic get-out-of-jail-free card: Debt Jubilee.
