Management of perceptions not going according to plan

Confirmation of what I've been saying all along:

The economy isn't designed to run on expensive energy. Prices must come down. Yet by printing more money, policy makers are not only not solving the problem, but are making it worse.

No Mo' POMO?

By Tyler Durden

Created 05/13/2013 - 15:22

Despite the aura of control, Fed officials (and casual observers) may sense things spinning out of control. Of course, hyper-fragility is exactly the effect that all the Fed's own actions would predictably lead to. When you divorce truth from reality, strange things are bound to happen. There is one thing that we know for sure in this strange period when bankers have tried to manage reality in the absence of truth: that advanced industrial-technological economies designed to run on $20-a-barrel oil can't run on $100-a-barrel oil, and that is why the US economy was subject to financialization in the first place - to offset declining productive activity by an attempt to get something for nothing. The world is about to find out that you really can't get something for nothing. It will be a harsh lesson.
