    Available indicators suggest that economic activity has been expanding at a solid pace. Job gains have remained low, and the unemployment rate has shown some signs of stabilization. Inflation remains somewhat elevated.

    This is contrary to what many feel, but the indicators are all there. I believe the Fed is doing a swell job at staying objective and only considering the indicators.

        It was unchanged at 4.4% from September to December (seasonally adjusted).

          “A lot of us” don’t control the interest rates across the nation.

          (What are you getting at btw)

        Why? Not everything is pure mathematics.

          The helpful things in pure finance seem to be.

          List some evidence in the other direction? I’m curious.
