And, you're not the first to ask for a link up top. Since I am my own programmer here, I'll see what I can do. Perhaps I can do a lagged regression.

They do actually move in synch to that extent, and quite remarkably. The entire Fed rate looks like a dead cat bounce begging rates declining to between 2 and 3 percent within two to three years.

I.e., the effect of Fed operations on All other (except the discount rate) INTEREST RATES is INDIRECT, and VARIES WIDELY OVER TIME, and IN MAGNITUDE You know if Krugman contends the Fed controls the FFR then Krugman’s interest rate comparison/correlation would be just as ridiculous.
