Women are running the Federal Reserve now

It was becoming difficult and cumbersome for voting members of the federal reserves open market advisory committee to meet all the time because of the frequency of face to face sessions required by turbulence in economies and markets. Using The Federal Reserve systems petty cash account voting members of the Federal Reserve system were permitted and encouraged to buy a super large RV motor home to travel to various meeting locations.

Each mobile RV used and owned by Federal Reserve members cost a hundred thousand dollars or more to purchase and up to one million dollars to decorate. Female voting members of the Federal Reserve were required to have pink RV's and male directors of the Federal reserve had blue RV's. The RV were luxurious and well laid out cool; even a rock star, Diva or major league baseball player would be jealous of how neat and homey the interiors of the expensive RV's were.

Each week a secret spot in Florida or California would host a secret budget meeting of the Federal  Reserve committee to stimulate or contract the economy. Twelve Super large RV's would be gathered in a tight circle and using a sliding window/ patio door that interconnected all the RV's the twelve members could sit in their own RV, sip brandy, Cognac or wine for the ladies and talk and decide how to keep the economy on track by expanding or contracting credit primarily through the interest rate mechanism but other fiscal and monetary methods were sometimes tried.

A cottage industry of reporters and spies watched major highways and roads in Florida or California  where the federal reserve emergency meetings were usually held to set interest rates and discount rates. Newspaper articles about how many pink RV's were seen this week in Florida moved world markets. Female voting members of the Federal Reserve open markets committee are notoriously soft hearted and often favor easy money policies so more people can have jobs and children can eat properly and not freeze in winters. The old saw in the Financial pages is more pink is more stimulation.

I learned about the RV's and Federal Reserve efforts to regulate and stimulate the economy by watching videos on You Tube about monster million dollar RV's of the rich and famous hosted by a famous rock star, although I hadn't heard of him myself. He would start the show about the Federal Reserve super large RV motor homes by taking a sledge hammer and bashing in the side of one of the pink RV's that needed redecorated.
