    Default Fed decision

    The Fed has decided to continue current policies. Two members of the FOMC dissented, in favor of some tightening. One additional dissent favored retaining prior language about retaining current low interest rates for a considerable time.

    The implication is that rate hikes might begin around the middle of 2015.

    Never happen. They can't afford to give themselves a rate hike.

    It really sucks when you have Banksters controlling the money and your economy. Wish there was a way to do away with The Federal Reserve / IRS.

    As expected, few changes for Fed. FOMC signals patience on rate hikes, still expects inflation to move back to 2% over time.

    Said the Fed: Our economy's strong
    & the job market's humming along
    But B4 we inflate
    We might as well wait
    In case our assessment is wrong.

    For any of you who think the Fed is going to raise Interest rates.

    Stop and think about the effect of debt interest payments on 18 Trillion.........................


    They painted themselves into the corner, and the paint ain't drying...........
