Because increased bank lending is an essential component to get the economy to improve (as this article states), we need a Fed that won't react so quickly to increased investment. If they plan to raise interests rates right when the party's starting, there may not be much of a party at all; aggregate demand may not be able to rise as much as needs to to get our economy back to normal. Overall, what I'm saying is that the Fed needs to accept a bit more inflation in a time like this, because increased employment is currently much more important.Kurt Streichnoreply@blogger.com
