BGR <People will buy houses and cars, sure, but at a different rate as interest rates change> The initial impact of a tightening will be to increase the rate of home buying as people seek to buy before rates go higher. The Fed is a player in the market -- but the market is the ultimate arbiter of rates. I don't think there will be any meaningful impact on growth until we see the long bond above 7%. A 20% drop in the S&P however would bring us down to something like 3% growth. Three tightenings this year should do the trick. Trouble is, the end of the year will be a lousy time for tightening. This is the case for half a point now and another 1/4 point in August.
