As an aside, George Selgin called me a "crass blowhard" on Twitter a couple years ago after I asked him and a number of other Fed sycophants to consider that the Fed might be full of shit. I was proved correct.

Monsieur Havenstein, you should feel very validated today FWIW. It can never be said that nobody warned them or saw it coming thanks in no small part to you.

There's a great quote you once pulled about Jay not just wanting to tap the baseline, but really wanting to blow it out on inflation. Was looking around for it and couldn't find it. Do you remember when/where it's from? Cheers

Excellent piece, and spot on.

What is the solution for us Average Joes? Is there a trend-following "Friends of Fink" investment strategy we could implement? Stay out of cash, buy stocks & commodities?

I like the Overton Window analogy. When I tell friends I think there is way too much bipartisanship in Congress, they think I’m nuts.

Great commentary as usual. Looks like inflation is going to be with us for a while. Recession here we come.
