Hume found that there seems to be a significant difference between positive statements (about what is) and prescriptive or normative statements (about what ought to be), and that it is not obvious how one can coherently move from descriptive statements to prescriptive ones.

Isaiah 46:8-10

He’s not alone. In fact, all the major central banks have been working in concert since the day they broke the gold bull market back in September 2011, when the Swiss National Bank pegged the Franc to the euro which began the era of coordinated central bank policy.
And since 2013’s Taper Tantrum when then FOMC-Chair Ben Bernanke timidly announced a future without QE the markets have consistently tore at their resolve to normalize monetary policy.
Because when you paper over reality you don’t fix the underlying problems. The losses are still there, hidden in plain sight, held at mark-to-model prices, on central bank balance sheets.

Speaking of Trump and the 60 Minutes interview tonight.

President Trump believed Janet Yellen, the former chairwoman of the Federal Reserve, was too short to run the central bank, according to a new report.

Current and former officials told the Washington Post that Trump “appeared hung up on Yellen’s height," asking aides and officials multiple times if they agreed that Yellen, who is 5 foot 3 inches, was tall enough to be in charge of the Fed.

People briefed on Trump’s interview with Yellen say that the president was considering reappointing her to the post, adding that he was impressed with her during the interview.

Trump declined to reappoint Yellen to the Fed, making her the first central bank chief not to serve two terms since the Carter administration.
