The Fed was already overly concerned about price levels in 2008: http://thefaintofheart.wordpress.com/2014/09/18/four-years-and-things-havent-changed-much/
"What I'm arguing is that the big mistake of 2008...should not be allowed to fall into the 'bygone be bygone' category." Only think what 1.7 trillion dollars more could actually accomplish: http://thefaintofheart.wordpress.com/2014/09/23/some-bygones-should-not-be-left-alone/
This does not sound like it is going to end well...http://thefaintofheart.wordpress.com/2014/09/23/rbc-theory-ready-to-do-serious-damage-in-the-ez/

An odd headline from Yahoo (Scott Sumner) Readers of the Money Illusion are not confused
The FOMC has really suffered as a result: Yglesias on Obama's missed opportunity
Commenters debate the Scotland Vote: No!
Corner solutions are not optimal for either of these: Infrastructure or Entitlements? This was also a continuation of a discussion from post re Hong Kong at Econlog
"It was obvious from the beginning that Abenomics would both 'succeed' and 'fail': Twice is enough (and don't expect miracles)
Scott provides some clarification in this Econlog post: There is nothing tautological about market monetarism
Even though QE has helped, Japan exemplifies the fact that monetary policy needs assistance from combined efforts for structural change: Abenomics is doing better than I expected (shades of grey)
