Re: Bush appoints Bernake Chairmen of the Federal Reserve
No relation to government spending.
Anyway, the 1982 recession was instigated on purpose to break the back of inflation. The tag team with Reagen's tax cuts helped soften the blow. We have seen lowering rates and inflation for 23 years as a result. This has been one of the main catalysts for the almost unhindered economic growth of the last two decades. Volcker was immensely successful at achieving his goals. |

By the way, back in his rebellious youth, Greenspan advocated for a return to the gold standard. You can find his missive online, just google it. [/ QUOTE ] Here it is. Anyone interested in monetary police should definitely read this. |

The fed's main goal is to control inflation by means of monitary policy, so to say the new chairman would do that is nothing new. [/ QUOTE ] This is like saying "our goal is to control highway crashes by using government 18-wheelers to nudge old ladies (or other potentially bad drivers) off the road." Eliminating inflation is easy. Stop fractional-reserve central banking and move to a 100% gold currency. |

Re: Bush appoints Bernake Chairmen of the Federal Reserve
That doesn't eliminate or even control inflation at all....there would be huge fluctuations in prices. Actually the Fed's main goal is to control inflation, weather you think so or not.

Re: Bush appoints Bernake Chairmen of the Federal Reserve
Monitary policy is a broad term, of course there are many things you can do with/and can affect monitary policy. Do you even know how the fed works/normally controlls the interest rate?
