Neel Kashkari Defends Fed's Actions After 12% Market Rout,

• https://www.zerohedge.com by Tyler Durden

Neel Kashkari took to CNBC this morning to not only display his ignorance of the basic laws of economics and finance, but also of epidemiology and medicine. Who knew Neel was such a non-expert in so many fields?

Kashkari, who while the market was rallying spent his days on social media taking shots at the "Zerohedge" and "conspiracy" crowd, is now taking to TV to try and defend the Fed's "effective" ideas that left the stock market crippled by 12% in one trading session after the Fed took unprecedented stimulus actions, including 150 bps in rate cuts in less than a month and more than $2 trillion in liquidity being injected into financial system.  

First, Kashkari defended the Fed for panicking and taking drastic action in what could be the very "early innings" of the coronavirus economic slowdown. "The notion we should have saved our cuts for later is a colorful metaphor, but it's just flat wrong," he told Joe Kernen. As we know now, the market disagreed, promptly plunging limit down about an hour after the Fed's action on Sunday night.
