While I don't disagree about the fed, Keynes was not a chartalist or a proponent of MMT. Keynes would vomit today if he saw the stuff that government and academia were recommending in his name. Keynes' prescript was aimed at dealing with depression in a hard money system. Today we have fiat money and a floating exchange rate system, which were never considered when Keynes wrote his general theory.

Indeed the FED is the problem and their Keynesian Economics has put us in this situation.

Yup..they should occupy the FED, not Wall ST.

Wall St. would have never taken those gambles if they knew there would be no bail outs.
