Here are the six myths Johnson addresses:
Myth 1: The Federal Reserve has followed a highly expansionary monetary policy since August, 2008.
Myth 2: Recoveries from recessions triggered by financial crises are necessarily low.
Myth 3: Monetary policy becomes ineffective when short-term interest rates fall close to zero.
Myth 4: The greater the indebtedness incurred during growth years, the larger the subsequent need for debt reduction and the greater the downturn.
Myth 5: When money policy breaks down there is a plausible case for a fiscal response.
Myth 6: The rising prices of food and other commodities are evidence of expansionary policy and inflationary pressure.

Hey would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with? I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

Does your site have a contact page? I’m having a tough time locating it but, I’d like to send you an email. I’ve got some ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it grow over time.
