Over at the WSJ they’re quoting Goldman economist Jan Hatzius as suggesting that the Fed can control inflation by dumping a bunch of their Agency Debt holdings.

“… Selling its billions worth of MBS, notes Mr. Hatzius, would drive up mortgage rates and cool the housing market, which in turn should slow the economy.”

Right. And emptying a couple of dozen rounds from a Thompson submachine gun into the patient might reduce his elevated heart rate.

1) that’s, that’s, … totally insane

2) why would GS even suggest such a thing?

3) don’t you reporters, like, ever question what these experts come up with?
