I guess from Tomasz's broad smile that he is holding a pretty good 
bear hand right now.

It's a fair bet that there are some very talented guys and gals 
somewhere in the Fed building (and their international equivalents) 
but how free are they from political interference (both within and 
without).

Also, when the 'dirt hits the fan' it tests the strength of our 
believe in the textbook theories like: "we can't predict the future 
based on the past".

That only leaves national economic managers with the capacity to 
steer the ship, against the tide and changes in the weather, 'after 
the event'.
