"People are getting laid off, new economy is gone, dreams are going out the window, the rest of the world is slowing down, and it's seems magical to the bulk of the populous." Fed wants to make sure 5% of the workforce is without work. Strange, isn't it?!

The fed is a world dictatorship. Why do they always like to create recessions? I'm cynical and think its for the power when they overdo it, because then they are noticed and needed. He's too smart not to know the cumulative effect of those hikes one after another.

I agree Greg. I have felt for years that we need to abolish the Fed. Let the market set rates as it is doing now. Fed only can effectively control short term rates any way. Pinhi
