“that is the FED’s fault...they are keeping interest rates too high...”

I can’t agree with that, the FED has two mandates. Keeping unemployment full or close to full and keeping inflation at or below 3%. Unemployment is OK, but inflation is still above 3%. Lowering rates would push inflation further above the target, so they can’t do that.
