So, IMO, the Fed wants to slow US growth until other economies are able to catch their breaths and properly restructure in order to become more productive.

I don't agree
When these other economies start to become more productive, the shift to cheaper labor elsewhere policies we have will turn to increased costs here and add to inflation.
At the same time due to the US dollar being so widely held universally the value of the dollar will decrease on the world market.
The import export figures clearly back this up.

This takes us back to where the Fed should be targeting the dollar versus interest rates. IMHO

Glad to see you Ron hope all all is well with you and yours.

Is there any plant capacity - it seems there is no wage capacity? Is a .25% increase enough to curb demand before inflation kicks in - or is this simply too old fashioned a view?
