HEADLINE: Stocks climb after Fed pledges to hold rates low

The Fed won't be tight'ning its grip, and prices go up. That's inflation, isn't it?

I was gonna title this post Same old same-old... Same old economic policy. Same old go-ahead-and-borrow-more, go-ahead, go-ahead, GOTCHA! Same old we encourage you to increase your reliance on credit until someone yells INFLATION in a crowded theater... and then they jack up interest rates.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Don't jack up interest rates to fight inflation. Fight inflation by paying off debt a little faster. Fight inflation by removing the money that threatens to cause inflation, the money that's been created by borrowing. Fight inflation by completing more of those credit-use transactions. Fight inflation by reducing debt.

Fight inflation by reducing debt. Tax policy can do the deed. And keep interest rates low to encourage growth. This is Arthurian economics.
