Thanks to the Fed not raising interest rates this week, we can keep this party going for a few more weeks/months. We keep hearing in some small corners of the media that the Fed’s model is broken. But what does that really mean? I came across this video recently and thought it was a gem and addresses this point. Its a long video, and for the most part, its a very dry subject and theoretical (I skipped most of it myself). But one section from Dr. Jason Cummins, who is an ex-Fed member, really stood out and was very refreshing to hear. He turns it into more of a rant, but makes some very good points of how the Fed is working with a broken model and needs to be addressed. I invite you to watch this video (about 25 minutes long) that we can all understand and relate to .
