Isn't the Fed Chair the most important voice? If he/she says no to interest rate hikes then it doesn't happen?

That's like saying isn't the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court the most important voice. On the FOMC the Fed Chair, like the Chief Justice, is first among equals. He has one vote. The other members don't march in lock step.

OIC but raising interest rates now is the right thing to do from what I'm hearing from Maria Bartiromo & other guys on FOX Business, the economy is going gangbusters
