Where would any FOMC meeting be without a limerick?
Janet is loving the Taper
She's tired of bidding-up paper

She's lengthened her dates
She knows that our assets are vapor

Everytime I see as pundit on TV screaming inflation, all I can think is Blow Hard!
Inflation expectations plummeting. 5-year breakeven rate is lowest this year, at 1.86 now. Still "well-anchored"? pic.twitter.com/Fp7xL4xJas
