| Morley Safer: Reporters, but Not the Public, Should "Know Better" Than to Adulate Reagan »
June 15, 2004
Tame Inflation Deflates Kerry CampInflation is tamer than expected: "It means we're back to the best of everything -- we'll have higher rates but slowly and methodically rather than that half point jump everybody was getting a little bit more concerned with," said John Hughes, market analyst at Shields & Co., who believes the data showed the Fed doesn't need to go 50 basis points this month. But Greenspan says the Fed must be prepared to respond to "threats" to the economy, including another possible terrorist strike. I'm not a Greenspan watcher, but what this sounds like to me is Greenspan proposing an alternative reason to hike interest rates. Inflation may not be a threat, but terrorism is, and so the Fed will raise rates, if only to have the power to lower them dramatically if necessary. There are three constants in the universe: the speed of light, the cosmological constant, and Greenspan thinking that now would be a great time to raise rates. Donald Luskin takes diminutive dean Paul Krugman to task for always predicting soaring inflation, or at least always predicting soaring inflation during Republican administrations. The paranoid Princetonian never seems to get around to explaining why his previous predictions have been so woefully off the mark.
Modest cowbell:
No cowbell for this: New York State's growth exceeds national growth. Nice for New York, but Bush isn't going to win in New York. Can't all those growing New York businesses relocate to Ohio?
The University of Michigan's preliminary survey of consumer confidence for June showed its sentiment index rose to 95.2 from a final reading of 90.2 in May, according to sources who saw the subscription-only report, breaking a two-month decline. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast a fall to 89.9 as record-high gasoline prices and geopolitical concerns were expected to have offset some of the optimism over the improvement in the labor market... "The rebound in hiring over the past three months is finally affecting consumer attitudes about the economy. However, the improvement in sentiment has been relatively sluggish," said Steven Wood, economist at Insight Economics. "Although sentiment remains well below its levels of the late 1990's, further job gains will push it higher," he said. posted by Ace at 12:40 PM

From Archimedes: Democrats are really now arguing that it's time to open the Big Tent to Nazis:
At Insty:Link to Ed Driscoll's post here Black Conservative Perspective says there's a "Woke Civil War" going on in the left over this Nazi, with Race Marxists -- mostly black -- absolutely determined to cancel him, while the straight-up Communists -- mostly white rich-bitch nepo babies -- are fighting like hell for him. As many have noted: Communists are always willing to make a tactical alliance with Nazis. (And, of course, Communists are just totalitarian socialists with an internationalist foreign policy, while Nazis are totalitarian socialists with a nationalist foreign policy. They're two anti-human peas in a pod.) The white communists are fighting hard for this guy because he is an open, avowed communist, and they think his completely-fake "normal blue-collar guy" persona can be used to do what they cannot do, sell communism to the working class.
