Idiots. The quickest way for the Fed to lower inflation is to cut rates to zero.

Mosler talks about the spread between inflation and deficit spending around 39:40. I think if you cut rates to zero you'd get significantly lower inflation but the spread between the deficit and cpi as a percentage of gdp would remain largely the same and USA would still have a booming economy assuming the trade deficit doesn't blow out. That would really screw their the mainstream thinking as they'd believe Fed only cuts on economic weakness.
