There are thugs and then there are thugs. Not all are tatted up and roam the mean streets or dark alleys of run-down areas.
Some wear suits and ties and work the halls of Congress. Bob Beckel was one of those, a big time Democrat thug for labor. Other thugs populate the passages of academia, spewing forth their don't-you-dare-question-our agenda-driven spiels. Still others find their way into political office. Anyone care to recall the name Adam Clayton Powell? Or a host of others, right and left. And we all know about the ones in MSM.
Then there are the central bank thugs, particularly those who arrogantly in their elitist roles believed killing the COLA crowd with their bottom-fishing interest rates would save the economy. How? That's the question one is never supposed to ask these glib history-directing bureaucrats. Like those once-popular pinball machines somewhere along the way their constipated econometric models went tilt. The nation's already savings-poor, ignorant consumers would keep on keeping on--that is, accumulating more Chinese junk to store in their garages, if they still had one after the subprime mess. Or so these Lords of Eccles believed and were willing to bet your future on.
And here's more thuggery, this time from Wall Street. Another unexpected thug about to make an appearance near one of your handouts soon is a macro one, slow growth and inflation. Don't worry, the Fed is helpless to do anything about it.
