Wait, is government saying central banks have no effects on inflation? What do they even do then?
Paul Krugman has claimed this when it's politically convenient. I'm not sure if he's done it recently, though.
It's more like they're trying to have it both ways: we need the FED to manage inflation, but when inflation is out of control it's greedy capitalists' fault.

Exactly. First rule of government is always blame someone else.
