Warsh did not commit to a September rate increase, but he seems to have satisfied investors concerns about his commitment to bringing down inflation.

The very stable genius seems to be calling for a substantial Fed rate increase this week. Comments to reporters on AF1: "We should have the lowest interest rate in the world. Like it used to be 30 years ago. We always made the lowest rate." Rates mid-1996:

I just spent the last 5 days on horseback in the Wyoming wilderness. No phones, no scrolling. No news, no contact with the outside world. We just rode, and fished, and sat around the campfire talking to real people. Highly recommended.

RIP Alan Greenspan. He had tremendous successes and made some large errors. But he was easily the most consequential Fed chairman. So much of how monetary policy is conducted today came out of his tenure.

Some sad little people at the DOJ.... The new indictment is "related to a photo last May that Comey posted, in which the numbers 86 and 47 had been formed by sea shells. Critics said that could have been a reference to killing Trump, the 47th president."
Webster's Dictionary definition of "86"
