In that effort, the Federal Reserve's balance sheet has ballooned by more than 50%. Never in peace time history has the central bank for the world's reserve currency so intentionally implement policies that will destroy the value of that reserve currency . Read full article...

The U.S. FED: What! Me Worry? / Economics / Money Supply
By: David_Haas
From time-to-time, I like to swing by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRBSL) website to check on their “aggregate” monetary and financial indicators and measure the pulse of our nation's economic base - which is the overall supply of money and credit in the United States economy.

Fed Money Supply and Aggregate Credit Not Fueling US Inflation / Interest-Rates / Money Supply
By: Paul_L_Kasriel
One of the tenets of that now allegedly defunct economic schools, monetarism, is that you cannot judge the stance of monetary policy by the level of the policy interest rate.

Bernanke went from being the goat to the hero almost overnight. Rest easy folks, our Fed Chairman is on board; finally having gotten with the program. Read full article... Read full article...
