Engineering Recession?

And the world
The world turns around
And the world and the world
The world drags me down

Yesterday's FOMC actions and data have emboldened theories that the Fed is trying to engineer a 'soft recession' that would cause prices to decline through 'demand destruction.' As opposed to addressing the primary cause of higher prices--which is money printing.

If this is indeed the Fed's intent, then it is even less brains than previously assumed.

And that's saying something.
