These rate increases are not only small, but widely advertised well in advance.
Interest rates are at historically low levels.
The lion’s share of the blame rests with the spendthrift Congress, past and present. Nearly $22 trillion in debt now.
Bring all our military and human resources home from around the world, putting an end to senseless, endless, and expensive NeoCon wet dreams. Stop the illegal invasion cold and get rid of all the illegals here now. Adopt the widespread use of Thorium energy.
Do that and not only will 90% of our problems be gone, but the President will never have to concern himself about the Fed again.
As the great Ronald Reagan once said (paraphrased but close): “The solutions are simple. It’s actually doing it that the problems begin.”.
Your post would make more sense if interest rates on U.S. government bonds were rising dramatically. But they’re actually pretty steady — or rising very slowly. In face, the yield on a 30-year Treasury note was 3.06% yesterday — which is lower than it’s been at the end of every month from September onward.
And it is within the political sphere that we attempt to implement these solutions.
The political sphere and the government class does not advance itself by solving problems, it advances itself and its members by keeping the problems that exist and creating even greater problems.
And therein lies the root of our trouble.

One only needs do ONE thing to make ^, and more, self-correct: uphold and adhere to the Constitution.
Return to Constitutional $$ and an elimination of the welfare state would do that and more
As for Thorium/energy, Fedzilla need only get back to its rightful size (and out of our way/lives otherwise) should be left to the states.
“Regulate”: ‘to make regular’...not ‘to control’
There is no reason to raise interest rates at this time except to slow GDP growth and to hurt Trump.
Couldn’t agree more and could not have said it better.
