As a result, when news headlines read something along the lines of “Fed Does Nothing” it’s easy to say, hey, what are we paying these people for, and then imagine a meeting of the board of governors resembling a morning after scene in a frathouse, with everyone kind of shambling around in bathrobes after having woken up at one in the afternoon, unwilling to do anything more strenuous than watch Spongebob until someone looks at the clock and reminds everyone else that they’re supposed to decide on overnight lending rates in the next ten minutes and Ben pauses his bong hit long enough to say “Let’s leave it at like, zero, man,” and the other governors make some guttural noises vaguely resembling “Aye,” before passing out on the pee-stained mattress in the corner. Or at least that’s what I imagine.
