Calm Acceptance as Fed Enacts Its First Interest Increase in Seven Years
The much-anticipated “liftoff,” the Fed’s first interest rate increase since the financial crisis, unfolded quietly and smoothly. But the hard work lies ahead."It’s not clear whether steady-but-lackluster growth is now as good as it gets, or whether the economy is just starting to heat up. It’s not clear why inflation is so sluggish, or how many people without jobs would like to return to work."
Binyamin Appelbaum is wrong on all points.
Lackluster growth will continue for years or it will collapse.
Inflation is replaced by deflation.
Most of the population is not earning livings.
Austerity forces deflation.

Washington’s Ex-Mayor Avoids Charges, but Remains Bitter
A 57-month inquiry led a dozen people, including some of Vincent C. Gray’s closest supporters, to plead guilty and contributed to his defeat.“It was timed to have an impact on the election,” said Mr. Gray, whose supporters have cited public and private polls showing that support for the eventual winner, Muriel E. Bowser, increased substantially in the wake of Mr. Thompson’s court appearance. “They have an ethical obligation not to have an impact on elections, and they did.”
"The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is the domestic intelligence and security service of the United States, which simultaneously serves as the nation's prime Federal law enforcement organization. Operating under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Justice, FBI is concurrently a member of the U.S. Intelligence Community and reports to both the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence.[2] A leading U.S. counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and criminal investigative organization, FBI has jurisdiction over violations of more than 200 categories of federal crimes.[3] "
