Justification… Fear of a wage price spiral Previous rate decreases have yet to have their full economic impact… Slowing inflation must be of the highest priority And just as easing policy aggressively in response to emerging downside risks made sense, withdrawing some of that stimulus as those risks diminish makes eminent sense as well” –Jeffrey Lacker

Recommendation… Increase the Federal Funds target rate from 2 to 2¼%
