KC Fed President Thomas Hoenig -- Complete Interview With CNBC's Steve Liesman (Jackson Hole Video)

Excellent interview from last week.  I've got the full 8-minute clip, a 1-minute excerpt, the transcript, a summary, an interesting lnk on 'Fed Group Think' at Jackson Hole, plus a selected Hoenig archive.  It's a solid collection. 

You already know the story on Hoenig.  He's the lone voice of QE dissent at the Fed, preferring tighter money over the Bernanke helicopter.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The outlook for the U.S. economy would have to deteriorate "appreciably" to spur fresh support from the Federal Reserve, according to minutes of the central bank's last policy meeting released on Tuesday.

The August 10 meeting was held against a darkening economic backdrop, and the Fed, in a significant policy shift, decided to reinvest maturing mortgage-related securities in government debt so its support for the stumbling recovery did not fade.

We have had a god-awful run of Housing data. New and Existing Home Sales, Defaults and Foreclosure data, even the Case Shiller report — all have been utterly horrific.

In light of this, I want to make the following announcement: Attention RE Agents! The National Association of Realtors are doing you a terrible disservice.
