Entry: Bernanke's Mother Also Available For Quotes (Not So Much Dad, Who Never Thought He Was Good Enough)

QUOTE: "While Fischer acknowledged the ``Fed is clearly more concerned about growth than inflation,'' he ruled out a repeat of the early 1980s when the U.S. central bank confronted double-digit inflation and unemployment. That is unlikely to happen because Bernanke's Fed would raise interest rates ``long before'' inflation got out of hand, he said."

Beyond absurd into fantasy. I wonder what Fischer makes of the fact that 5-year TIPS have a negative yield.
