Recovery does not require more stimulus, Fed officials say

Thomas Hoenig, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, and Richard Fisher, head of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, indicated that although economic growth is cooling, more stimulus is not necessary. Hoenig also reiterated his stance that the Fed should increase its key interest rate to 1% to keep inflation at bay and counter the threat of asset-price bubbles. Meanwhile, Fisher said additional asset purchases by the Fed are not needed.

Yes Mr Hoenig, it is time for the Fed to stop buying financial assets and to start buying real assets... try real property so that the Dollar is backed by something in addition to gold.
