“The best way to (ahem) get the attention of the political class is to taper now, trigger a stock market decline and speak directly to the elected leadership’s need to put the fiscal house in order. This is the only way the Fed can escape taking the bullet during the next financial crisis. ‘We told you so’ is much better than ‘we did everything we could and it still fell apart.’ Better to engineer a mini-crisis while you’re still in control than let a crisis you can’t control run away from you, and better to pass the ticking time-bomb to the elected leadership while you still can.”
