Did Janet Yellen Just Recommend Buying Bitcoin

• http://www.zerohedge.com, by Tyler Durden

For one, Yellen's hypocrisy hit bitcoinian levels when she had the temerity to say that she is "very disturbed" about the trend toward rising inequality, noting that the central bank only has a "blunt tool" that can't be used to target certain groups. She's right: the "blunt tool", also known as a money printer, is can - and has - been repeatedly used to target a certain group: the ultra wealthy, i.e., the 0.1%, those who as Credit Suisse showed two weeks ago, have never been wealthier.

And just to make sure all your blood has boiled over, Yellen added that the Fed is very focused on "very disturbing long-term trends" in inequality adding that "our own focus"" is on taking those trends and studying them... and making them bigger than ever she should have also added.

Demonstrating her extensive skills of pointing out the obvious, Yellen also said that "we're suffering from slow productivity growth," and there should be a focus on how that can be improved. It appears that the Fed is unaware that most employees spend several hours a day on Facebook, LinkedIn and SnapChat; it also appears that the Fed is unaware that most employers are aware of this, and is why there has been so little wage growth to "reward" this collapse in productivity.
