Reports of it helping people beat addictions, too.

i mostly consider that a negative, tbh.

You can always watch the wagon roll by, I don't think you're handcuffed to the jockey box.

Should 2% be the target? Seems a little low to me.

Agree. 3 seems right.

2% is plenty high.

Ideally the inflation target would be 0%, but you don't want to have inflation come in a little below your target and then get stuck in a deflationary cycle.

i think they’re going to drop “the rate” about 5 percentage points next month boys

[pissclams]

that’s probably too aggressive!

[pissclams]

half a point??  who knows what that damn fed is going to do!?

25 basis points is what my pigeon entrails told me this morrow.

Yeah no way they go half a point, .25 is what they'll do and walk it in from there.

I like Clams’ idea for 5pts. We can always pull it back.

Go back to zero for one cycle only, as a little treat

Would actually be hilarious to see the explosion of big money deployment in one cycle of 0% interest.

Loan brokers and processors would be dropping like flies from all the coke, adderall, and Red Bull.

Bring back the no loans.  No money, no job, no problem.

2% is plenty high.

Ideally the inflation target would be 0%, but you don't want to have inflation come in a little below your target and then get stuck in a deflationary cycle.

The hilarious thing about the inflation targets and dot plots and crap is it is basically just a confidence game between Powell and the fed bank crew and the street. As close as you can get to just straight up poker. The community cards are the economic data.

And half the time thee isn't even an actual change announced, (how long has the fed target been 2%?!) it is just Jerome doing a little talk and hinting at something about a future change.

I'm not following you. Why would there be a change in the target rate for inflation? The target rate has been 2% for a long time and probably will continue to be 2% for the foreseeable future. I'm pretty sure the ECB and many other central banks use a 2% target for inflation as well.
