Racism has become the hallmark of political correctness folly. It's an all encompassing cop-out for any failure or incompetence.

I'm beginning to think AMT is the most sane guy on the forums. Everybody else is so mired in delusion and false paradigm's that they cannot see what is staring them right in the face.

So sjfan, what should the Fed pay attention to? Are you another one of these guys who believes in the "dual mandate"?

That bullshit "dual mandate" gives him far too much leeway in terms of continuing this perpetual ZIRP. With obvious dollar weakness and/or inflationary pressures, he can fall back on weak employment trends and vice-versa.

More of that non-sensical "dual mandate". The irony is that they can't even fulfill a single mandate. A bunch of inflation that is being spun as growth and an unemployment rate that only declines because of those falling off the head count due to some statistical shenanigans.

Regarding inflation data. We've had many debates on here in recent years about the inadaquacy of the official statistical measurements. I'm sure some of you saw or heard about that MIT dynamic prices paid index that was recently previewed. It's been mentioned that it could revolutionize the...

That is ultimately what it amounts to. There are people I come across who are completely unaware of where the dollar index is trading or that gold and silver have rallied immensely in the past two years. As I've said a number of times, the price of gasoline is about the only thing that wakes...

He breathlessly waits for each and every Marketsurfer post. Have you not seen his pitiful routine on the Journal thread? He definitely wants to be Surfer's bitch.

He's upset that I outted his man crush on Marketsurfer. Just another socialist loser that doesn't even reside in the US. Seem to be alot of north of the border folks who cheer on the demise of this country.

Who signs your checks, Shill-boy?

Just a ploy to try and get some attention. Republicans don't like him, Democrats don't like him. He has to come to terms with the fact that 08 was his swan song and now fade away.

But Olias will tell us it "just isn't so". I mean, how could we be so certain that the Fed's unprecedented policies are actually doing any harm to anyone. I mean, golly gee whiz.

You are completely full of shit.

More of the "good cop, bad cop" routine. Same trick employed by the round robin of Fed governors whenever soaring commodity prices bring unwanted scrutiny upon their monetary hijinx. Roll out a few hawkish soundbites to introduce some semblance of credibility, all the while continuing...

His opinions are completely consistent with everything espoused by the mainstream media. Whenever I read his comments, it's like listening to another bought and paid for pundit on CNBC.

Olias is an obvious shill.

Don't kid yourself for a second with that line of thinking. The media might have their own vested interest in spinning this pig pretty, but high gas prices, high food prices and the continued decline in the standard of living in this country is NOT going to win your idol any points. This is...

Couldn't have said it better myself. This guy is the epitome of a condescending douchebag. It's clear that he also has a bit of "man love" for the second biggest windbag on this site, Marketsurfer.

Actually, you are in a time warp, they've been returning in record numbers since the "great recession" of 2008. In case you hadn't noticed, they were largely day laborers in the construction trade. Well, we don't do much of that anymore. But besides that, the situation in Mexico and...

Yeah, I read that stat about government transfer payments earlier today. Just more wonderful evidence for the brain dead to cheerlead this "recovery". Those labor participation rates should also be wonderful news to the bootlickers. As stupid as the rhetoric is about gasoline/oil prices, in...
