The quote of the day goes to David Stockman. In a Bloomberg video, Stockman claims (and I agree) "Bubbles Ben to be Replaced by Calamity Janet".
Partial Transcript
They are stumbling into the endgame of this whole misbegotten spree of QE, ZIRP, and massive manipulation of financial markets.
We are going to basically replace bubbles Ben with calamity Janet.
She has no clue how to wean wall street from the pathetic addiction to this massive stimulus, easy money that has been going on for the entire century.
I backed that up because she has spent her whole life as a monetary bureaucrat in the Fed system, and has no clue what honest capital and genuine free markets are about.
[She] believes the entire system has to be run by a monetary politburo, turning all the dials and short-term interest rates and yield curves and the entire financial system.
She is part of group-think, part of the Keynesian consensus that 12 people are running at $16 trillion economy.
They are delusional.
