Russ,

RE: "Would be their excuse to make the initial rate hike March 16..."

I'm sure you have heard the statement "The raw material price increases are because of the strengthening economy." I've been thinking that this line of thinking may be extended when inflation becomes widely acknowledged. For instance, something along the lines "some inflation is a good thing, as it will provide pricing power which has been lacking" or myriad other variations of why (limited) inflation may be considered beneficial.

If this type of thinking takes hold, it may well delay any type of rate increase even if inflation is generally acknowledged.

This may seem crazy, but what isn't these days...
