The Fed’s April Fool’s: Pretending to Control Inflation
This year’s April Fools joke from the Federal Reserve is the same this year as every other: Pretending that a small group of unelected academics can micromanage the economy to create an ideal balance between employment, inflation, and cost of borrowing.
