>>“We wouldn’t be talking about this if energy prices were still at $30 a barrel or $40 a barrel for oil,” he said.<< But his interest rate lever has nothing to do with that -- and higher energy prices have the same effect as increased rates -- slowing the economy. What does he mean, wouldn't be talking about it -- does he mean he'd still have to be raising rates for the forseeable future?? I think he means the reverse, but it makes no sense, imo.
