The time is ripe for monetary reform. Getting monetary policy right is the foundation for economic growth. @
CatoEvents
Stable prices and a sound dollar are what create the best foundation for job growth over the long term. @
CatoEvents
SoundDollarAct is my vision for monetary policy to close the
#GrowthGap
& ensure another American Century

http://t.co/V8D8iMOYFi
@
CateEvents
Creation of asset price bubbles, excess reserves on balance sheet are fuel for future inflation and incentive for financial repression.
Whatever its short-term benefits may be, quantitative easing poses great risks over time. Let me outline three: @
CatoEvents
What are the benefits of quantitative easing? Fed officials argue that QE is responsible for rising asset prices. @
CatoEvents
While QE1 helped to boost stock prices, its effects on the real economy were quite small. @
CatoEvents
Since 2008, monetary policy has gone into discretionary and interventionist hyper-drive... @
CatoEvents
Monetary policy can only have a direct, positive effect on employment in short, temp spurts, at the cost of future econ growth & employment.
In response to “stagflation,” Congress gave the Fed a dual mandate assigning equal weight to achieving stable prices and full employment.
During the 80s & 90s, Chairmen Volcker & Greenspan conducted monetary policy as if the Fed had a single mandate for price stability.
Fed failed its role as lender of last resort between 1929 & 1933, leading to unnecessary bank failures, intensifying the Great Depression.
While the early Fed was successful in providing an elastic currency, eliminating the frequent, seasonal financial panics of the 19th century
Get monetary policy right, and our economy will have the wind at its back. @
CatoEvents
#GrowthGap
Get monetary policy wrong, our economy will face headwinds that good fiscal and regulatory policies may not be able to overcome @
CatoEvents
We need to return to a predictable, rules-based monetary policy that maintains the purchasing power of the US dollar over time. @
CatoEvents
We must overhaul the federal regulatory process to ensure necessary regulations are balanced and cost-effective @
CatoEvents
#GrowthGap
We must reduce federal spending & debt as a percent of GDP, and we must pursue pro-growth tax reform. @
CatoEvents
#GrowthGap
If we want the United States to remain the world’s economic superpower, we must close this
#GrowthGap
. @
CatoEvents
1%
#GrowthGap
is the difference between an $80T economy & a $50T economy in 2062 & is $97T less in federal taxes over 50 years. @
CatoEvents
A one-percentage point difference may not sound like much, but it is huge. Over the next 50 years... @
CatoEvents
#GrowthGap
The CBO recently reduced its estimate for future growth in potential real GDP from 3.2 percent to 2.2 percent. @
CatoEvents
#GrowthGap
Even more troubling is the possibility that the ability of economy to grow has been *permanently* diminished. @
CatoEvents
#GrowthGap
This recovery has produced $1.2T less in real GDP & 4.1M fewer private sector jobs than an avg recovery during last 7 decades. @
CatoEvents
The Growth Gap is the difference in economic performance between this recovery and an average post-World War II recovery. @
CatoEvents
Let me frame monetary policy in the broader context of the most critical economic challenge that we face—the Growth Gap. @
CatoEvents
The work that @
CatoInstitute
does in pursuit of economic freedom and limited government is more important than ever. @
CatoEvents
News stories breaking about the IRS targeting political enemies & the DoJ wire-tapping the AP show something is clearly wrong. @
CatoEvents
Big government is a breeding ground for political abuse & harmful social experimentation. Americans should not be Washington’s lab rabbits.
Obama's policies are troubling; revelations over the past 5 days are awakening many to the dangers of unrestrained government. @
CatoEvents
We have fought together in many battles for the principles of economic freedom and a limited, Constitutional government. @
