Sad thing about theories is they're usually wrong. That said, there's an old one about chaos. Dragging this idea through the garden, by inducing a state of chaos, say in the world economy, and the domestic one, too, individuals and organizations are forced to seek order from chaos. The tariff program might produce a crazy quilt of outcomes good and bad. The panic it is inducing, according to the theory, will force people to change the economy, culture, behavior, and whatever else is in the sauce. There may be an explanation for inducing chaos now.
For example, persons displaced in the government downsizing may be forced to seek work in other sectors of the economy. The need for money could drive people to invest in business and industry, as GOPs tend to believe will happen. The chaos theory, this time around could result in new directions in business and social politics. It might also induce a long, miserable recession. I just wanted to chunk out an outlying way of looking at what's up with the Fed. Thanks for reading.
