For years I wondered about the chatter about Inflation and Jobs not sure where the Market was focused. Recently I realized that the Federal Reserve is like a a bunch of kids on a play ground trying to position the kids with the right weight to be on each end of the see-saw so they could balance it perfectly.
In this case, on one seat of the see-saw we have "Monetary Policy" (how to manage the amount of money in the system so we can avoid either Inflation or Deflation). On the other seat we have Jobs and Stock Performance. Although job creation is not a Fed responsibility somebody has to do something.
Our President seems to be at War with Business and does nothing to encourage business growth or Job creation. Just look at what he's done to jobs in the Gulf Region. Also, his Policies and Public Statements are so confusing that most businesses are reluctant to make any real Capital Investments. Sure it seems like the Unemployment number is dropping but at the same time the number or folks "looking" for a job is growing and the majority of the growth is coming from utilizing existing Capital Infrastructure. And at the same time, while we are trying to reduce spending he is starting or escalating foreign wars, attempting to add 159 new agencies with his Healthcare debacle and growing the Federal Government and our Future National Debt at a rate that is beyond comprehension.
