While this sounds like a complaint, I don't mean it to be. By increasing inflation the fed can force people to take pay cuts without actually having to take a numerical paycut, which results in workers walking out. So in one sense, the fed may be trying to give employers a break by using inflation to reduce overall salaries. Similarly, inflation can allow home owners to walk away without a numerical loss, while accepting an actual loss accounting for inflation. However, I'm in a quandry as to whether the Fed's place, as a private bank, is to control the economy or protect the dollar.

More than anything, I think the Fed is pumping in volatility and instability to a market that is trying to find its way in one direction or another.
