Violets : seems they always have some opinion to justify their lack of action. inflation is not getting better so how can they even talk about a higher interest rate at this point in time not helping. people see this lack of movement by the FED is corruption and the American people are getting fed up quickly. basically people have stopped buying and that is going to trickle down obviously and already has to the economy. I'm not sure that that even really matters. many people I speak to think that they are doing this on purpose. they don't really expect inflation to get better
