Key line:

The Minutes also showed that a number of FOMC members were concerned about a strengthening US dollar and a slowing global economy.

The slowing global economy has certainly happened.

Wouldn’t that cause the dollar to fall not rise?

Been out of pocket for a while (year end... :-0) but what is “VE”? Also any discussions about the strength of the dollar? Curious given all the “money printing”...

You mean "MORE DEVALUING OF THE DOLLARS YOU EARN, AND THE DOLLARS IN YOUR SAVINGS ACCOUNTS".
PLUS INCREASED PRICES AT THE GROCERY STORE, as all imported items (Walmart) need more dollars to equal the same value of the overseas currency.
This bubble will explode right after the election.

The Fed can never raise interest rates again. Just think what that would do to the stock market, and especially government debt service payments

Saving is unAmerican!

Our Federal Reserve is simply following proven models: http://www.rbz.co.zw/

There is going to be a very nasty boomerang some day.

Nah. Somehow this ponzi game has got superior lasting. If it can be so out-of-wack as it is now why can't it continue. Besides, what can us sheeple do about it anyway but some preparations. Remember we have all of that gold in Fort Knox, right? (sarc)

“Wouldn’t that cause the dollar to fall not rise?”

Isn’t that the goal? Look at Japan, Zimbabwe, Argentina and other dynamic economies that first devalued their currency, and then experienced economic stillbirth.

Other countries (Germany, Switzerland, Singapore, etc.) believe in retaining the value of their currency.

Who wants to be like them when you can end up like Zimbabwe?

Much of the reason the economy sees growth is this continued sugar high of artificially low fed rates. Eventually we’re going see a Black Monday replay. The ride back to reality will be our fulfillment of the Chinese curse of living in interesting times.

“Just wait until the economy shuts down from EBOLA”

Or the more likely scenario of a series of attacks by ISIS.
