The Glass Menagerie?

Over at Danielle DiMartino Booth's latest, The Glass Menagerie,..
"This week, Federal Reserve policymakers will release a policy statement that paints an illusion of prosperity in cold monetarist verbiage that feigns the appearance of truth."

We keep watching for that shadow.
