As Clinton sounds interest rate alarm, does Congress think it's for real?

Let's assume you the reader are a progressive liberal, and while you're finally convinced debt and deficits do matter, you still believe in an activist Fed--a central bank which deploys massive quantitative easing, in an attempt to stimulate the economy.  The ol' "pile on more debt short-term to induce sustainable economic growth long-term" argument.

You ignore the warnings from the conservatives, the so-called deficit hawks.  Damn the Hoover Institute from Stanford University.  Reagan's trickle-down, supply-side economics were a colossal failure in your mind.

Full speed ahead!  What we need is QE to infinity to stimulate growth, growth, growth!

Here's a wet splash across the face from everybody's favorite Democratic former President Bill Clinton:
