I don't get what this cartoon is trying to say. The money supply was increased by 42% in 22 months thanks to the fed....maybe those pesky Austrian economists were right? And passing stimulus (ie pumping more $$ into the economy) when the fed is trying to raise interest rates is self defeating. That is a valid critique. I have no doubt Daniel's heart is in the right place, but his cartoons are lacking in substance.

I hate talking in terms of "personal brand", but it's hard to avoid when someone's livelihood is largely tied up in independent journalism and writing.

Matt, this cartoonist is damaging your brand. You specialize in in-depth reporting that seeks to destroy the obviously self-serving head feints and deception that our corporate media wallows in.

This cartoon is shallow and reeks of the kind of economic understanding usually seen in 20 year old liberal arts majors.
