    what's stupid is the Fed lending money to banks at zero interest for a decade; it screws up incentives.

    the Fed is right to start removing the punch bowl.

    That was my brother's favorite album growing up - got sick of listening to it but I don't remember that line (typical since my memory has gone to pot).

    Conservative Economists Reportedly Think Trump's Tweets Are Tanking the Stock Market

    Here’s the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday:
    Gary Cohn, the president’s former top economic adviser, told the White House recently that Mr. Trump’s tweet declaring himself a “Tariff Man” was unhelpful and triggered substantial losses in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, people familiar with the matter said.

    Mr. Trump tweeted on Dec. 4 shortly after a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping appeared to inspire hope among investors that the U.S. would reach a cease-fire in the trade war with China.

    Since then, financial markets have fallen further, with the Dow closing on Christmas Eve at its lowest level in more than 15 months.


    On Christmas Day, a former senior Republican Treasury Department official spoke to Mr. Mnuchin and

    told him that Mr. Trump’s tweets and “dysfunctional” governing style were causing stock indexes to plummet, the former official said.

    This person suggested that Mr. Mnuchin tell Mr. Trump to stop tweeting—advice the president frequently gets and seldom seems to heed.

    “Mnuchin is under the gun,” an anonymous source “close to the White House”

    Conservative columnist lambastes Trump for bowing down to Vladimir Putin while standing in front of American military

    Jen Rubin, a Washington Post columnist, explained Trump’s “highly inappropriate” conduct on MSNBC’s “Meet the Press Daily” with guest host Katy Tur on Wednesday.

    “Today marks the president’s first ever trip to an active war zone, and he did it after facing blistering criticism for not making such a trip earlier, as other presidents have,” Tur explained.

    “Jennifer,

    it used to be you that didn’t do any politicking while you were abroad

    — that used to be the norm,” Tur reminded. “We’re just taking it for granted now that he’ll visit a war zone, like he did today, and trash his political opponents like he did with the shutdown.”


    “Yeah, this has been

    a pattern through the campaign and into his presidency where he treats the troops like props,”

    Rubin replied.


    “No president in my memory has ever made such political speeches, political slurs, attacks in front of the troops,”

    “It converts the troops into a partisan plaything,

    which is very dangerous and very unusual in American politics,”

    the Syria move makes sense if you think

    he wanted to give Vladimir Putin a big present

    before the end of the year or he had made a commitment to Vladimir Putin,”

    “Because the powers that benefit from this are number one, Iran, but number two Russia

    Vladimir Putin, who is benefiting hugely from the chaos in our government, from Trump’s foreign policy, from his attacks on our allies — this is

    exactly what the Russians have wanted for years,”

    “Confusion,

    chaos,

    an America that is not willing to stick to its commitments,

    willing to turn on the Kurds,

    willing to turn on those that they’ve made promises to,” Rubin said.

    “So I think part of

    this has to be his relationship with Russia.”

    Ex-CIA official slams Trump for

    using troops in Iraq as ‘props’ after years of trashing military figures


    Trump for using troops as “props” in his Christmas Iraq visit while

    spending so much of his time as president criticizing military families and leaders.

    “Trump will use this belated troop visit to deflect from the rhetorical bodyslam [outgoing Defense Secretary Jim Mattis] delivered to him & his worldview last week.”

    “The record shows Trump has consistently

    used our military as a prop for his personal and political advantage,”

    Even as a candidate, Price tweeted, Trump “took aim” at beloved figures when

    he jabbed at the late John McCain by claiming he likes people “who weren’t captured” and

    got in a feud with the Khans, a Gold Star family who appeared at the Democratic National Convention.

    “Trump authorized his first military mission not from the Situation Room, but over the dinner table, which also included Jared Kushner and Steve Bannon” the Obama administration alumnus noted.

    “The raid resulted in the death of a US Navy SEAL, whose death he blamed on ‘the generals,'”

    from his failed response to the Niger ambush and

    his expensive (and ultimately scrapped) military parade to

    his decision to deploy troops to the US-Mexico border to meet the much-hyped “migrant caravan” and

    his attacks on storied Adm. Bill McRaven.


    “This list is illustrative, not exhaustive, and more examples abound,”

    “But suffice to say this is a president who

    has consistently put his own interests — personal and political — ahead of the country’s, and that includes those of our service members.”

    It's a nice gesture, for sure. Pales in comparison with Eleanor Roosevelt, though.
