There is a certain “truthiness”, as the comedian Stephen Colbert might put it, to the idea that we are about to have a get-real conversation about monetary policy in the US. Despite constantly calling for lower interest rates, President Donald Trump has nominated as the next Federal Reserve chair Kevin Warsh, who announced a little over two months ago that “money on Wall Street is too easy, and credit on Main Street is too tight”. Amen.
正如喜剧演员斯蒂芬•科尔伯特(Stephen Colbert)可能会说的那样,认为我们即将就美国货币政策展开一场严肃对话的想法,有某种“感实性”(truthiness,指不依据事实、逻辑或证据,仅凭直觉、情绪或个人偏好而觉得某事“真实”——译者注)。尽管唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)总统不断呼吁降低利率,但他提名了凯文•沃什(Kevin Warsh)担任下一任美联储(Fed)主席。沃什两个多月前曾表示,“华尔街的资金过于宽松,而实体manbetx20客户端下载 的信贷却过于紧缩”。阿门。
