The Fed has no choice but to raise interest rates and crush the market

Is this the book that culminates in his suggesting printing money is always the way out of all trouble? He seems to hate the idea of austerity, particularly Germany's thoughts on austerity; but we all know that he still has issues with Germany. He should maybe also hold some lectures in Berlin, Frankfurt, and Munich to witness that the youth has moved on and is not stuck in the Weimar Republic anymore (in fact it has moved on over 65 years ago...)
The time for austerity is during the boom. So no, austerity is not always wrong.
 
well spoken like the true accountant and economist. "Unrealized losses don't count, don't worry my brother". Do you see the Fed holding onto assets indefinitely? Has it ever during any of the past crises over the past many decades? There you have your answer...The reason so far losses the Fed delivered to Congress were within reasonable bounds. The losses (even unrealized) ones on the current balance sheet size will blow away anything we have ever seen in terms of scale.

I'm content to admit that I don't see why the Fed can't hold on to its assets indefinitely, and raise interest rates to control inflation, and take losses on those assets. The losses aren't realized until the assets are traded, and they're not traded if the Fed is holding on to them indefinitely. Feel free to educate me, and take a few cheap shots while you're at it.

but that is what Soros is preaching. In stark contradiction to his frugal life style (as long as it does not involve women) I may add...

P.S. And since when has any administration or corporation or human being for that matter ever embarked on austerity during a boom?

Wow, 190+ countries have fallen to communism. Who woulda thunk it!?
Correction: 190+ nations have fallen to Bankers. Sorry if you can't understand that. Bankers are at the top of the global Fortune 100 food chain.

Ya, and politicians NEVER run a surplus and pay down debt. Because it's in their best interest to buy votes. Which is why Keynesian economics only works on paper. Not in the real world.

No disagreement on that, but I don't think of bankers as communists.

Globalization aka Globalism is a concerted push towards Global Government. That push is coming from global Fortune 500. Harmonization of tax, trade, tariff policy and total control over regulators. That's what they want and that's what they're pushing. So yes, globalization in many respects (controlled markets, regulatory oligopolies) is far more Communist then Capitalism (free markets, free competition).

They don't count when you can print your own currency.
 
oh my God, I almost forgot I think you were the one along the same lines who claimed Japan should never be in trouble because most JGBs are held domestically thus BOJ can solve its own problems? No further questions...
