America's Economic & Fiscal Nightmare

Financial markets swooned on Friday in reaction to Fed Chairman Jerome Powell finally bluntly acknowledging the systemic inflation crisis that confronts our nation.

The Financial and Monetary Ruling Class of Permanent Washington

  • Janet Yellen still leads the Treasury after falsely claiming that inflation was merely "transitory"
  • Fed officials backed Yellen and the White House in spreading this talking point
  • Raphael Bostic, the Fed president with a Stanford doctorate, tried to excuse the central bank's total failure on price stability
  • The signs were everywhere - all relevant indicators pointed to an inflationary hurricane
  • Even as the inflationary forces gathered steam, evidenced by reams of macro data and micro anecdote, dilettantes like Fed President Bostic completely missed the mark
