Opinion
Do-Nothingism, a Fine Idea for the Fed
Sound policy making by the Federal Reserve requires responding to conditions as they are, not as policy makers might wish they were."If she’s true to her word, Ms. Yellen, the Fed’s chairwoman, will resist what many people think will be an interest rate increase when the Fed’s policy committee meets in mid-June. The underlying economic data — on jobs, prices and economic growth generally — simply do not support such an increase." . . .
"Fed policy is not to blame for the economy’s underperformance. Congress bears much of the blame because of its tightfisted federal budgets when more government spending is needed to offset feeble spending and investment in the private sector."
