It's kind of pompous of you to think you know better than the team of PhDs at the Fed
I just want to say I disagree with this. I'm going to claim that the only difference between the armchair-economists and the PhDs who set the policy is that the policy-wonks actually get to implement their bullshit, while the armchair-economist is powerless to affect anyone.
Also, how is your claim that a consumption tax and 0% corporate tax not the very pomposity your object to?
