I don't know why so many people think the Fed actually cares about preventing/stopping inflation when the Fed's primary role over the course of the last 95 years has been to manufacture inflation. I mean, come on, what would have you think the Fed is seeking to fight inflation? It can't be the last 26 or more years of credit creation led by the Fed (mostly on Greenspan's watch). With the dollar worth 5% of its value in 1913, the year of the Fed's founding, it can't be that either.
Am I missing something? Why do people still think the Fed has a mandate to fight inflation? If they did, they are horribly incompetent and inept at that job and thus should be taken out and shot. I am a firm believer in Hanlon's Razor, but even this level of stupidity doesn't make sense. I can't see how 95 years worth of ineptitude can be justified unless...its not ineptitude at work but intention.
