Commentary
Well the savior’s of our economy, better known as the Federal Reserve (Fed), have a few predictions for the upcoming years that I’d like to share with you. But first let me clarify the identity of “savior”, the only reason they can carry this moniker, is due to the supreme ineptness of our fiscal policy better known as Congress and the Administration. So what have they to say on the following matters?
GDP………………2016 | 2.2 to 2.7…………….2017 | 2.0 to 2.5
Unemployment Rate………..2016 | 4.7 to 5.1………..2017 | 4.7 to 5.1
Inflation…………….2016 | 1.5 to 1.9……………..2017 | 1.8 to 2.0
How’s that float your boat?!
