I really don’t see the reason for lower interest rates.

Frankly, higher rates justified.

RE: Frankly, higher rates justified.

How about just leaving things the way they are?

There’s very little inflation. The Fed’s mandate is to maintain price stability.

The Fed increased rates 8 times I believe since Trump was elected, and 4 times in 2018, most recently last December. I read that it takes 2 years for the effect of a rate increase on the economy to fully play out. Therefore it would be a very bad idea to increase rates.

Agreed. The Fed should save its bullets.
