Yeah, let the politicians do the monetary policy, they have done SO well with the fiscal/debt policy.

Please do not link to items on sites (like WSJ) that require membership. People who run subscription-only sites do so by choice. Not my choice.

I agree, especially articles that are for the noon reading time.

Hi Frank-

It's a fair criticism. On the one hand, we do try to limit how often we link to articles behind paywalls. On the other hand, we would be doing Market Currents readers a disservice if we skipped salient stories simply because some sources are behind a paywall, especially when we're talking about such a mainstream source as the WSJ. As a middle ground, we provide the in-text link as a courtesy but generally try to encapsulate the crux of the story in the Market Current itself. That way, those who want to click through for additional information can do so and can handle the paywall as they see fit. For those who don't want to click through or don't have a subscription, the MC should suffice.

Hope this helps, and thanks for the feedback.
