Re: Katherine's pants are on fire

It is not a matter of being smart, we know the theory, we know it works but what we lack is determination. The Fed can lower...

Re: Katherine's pants are on fire
Well if you put it that way then no delusional does not make the cut. She can't be ignorant f the composition and the structure of the stimulus. And even then I wrote a long comment in her last...

Re: Katherine's pants are on fire
Let me add several things:
1. Quantitative Easing (QE) is basically Fed trying to simulate negative interest rates.
2. You can do QE in different ways. One thing Fed tried (in QE 1 & QE 2) was...

Re: Katherine's pants are on fire
There are several issues with CNN's info graphic:
1. The word stealth; as far as I see all of things they call stealth stimulus were known publicly. So why not use another less negative and more...

Finally someone introduces McArdle to reality
It was nice to see Scheiber mention that what McArdle worries about is imaginary. Although I would have liked a more forceful repudiation of that line of thinking.

Re: Gingrich-Kleiman 2012
That is pretty long and Cato criticizing Krugman does not really inspire me to delve into it. I will do sometime in the future but if there is a specific point you wish to discuss let me know.

Re: Katherine's pants are on fire
I repeat myself but it is important: not all of stimulus was spending.

Huh? You replied to my comment on Mangu-Ward, you actually quoted it. But there is no logical connection between what you are talking about and my original comment.

Re: Katherine's pants are on fire
