Fine....If we have a strong economy though we should act like it. Think a rate cut would send wrong messageJust leave rates where they are. In fact I would like to see them rise a little so you have more room to lower them when things slow down so we don't get into ZIRP or negative interest ratesOMG, we're at full employment. That we even added jobs is outstanding.Nice rebound from the 72,000 last month.
Still the lowest monthly average since 2010

This expansion is already the longest in history and the Fed can keep it going with a few judicious rate cuts.
Then if we get the trade war with China resolved that's another boost to the US economy.
Trump's team is leveling the trade field with tariffs, it will take time but its worth the effort.
I'd leave interest rates as they are for the time being. When we consistently get GDP numbers above 3%, then it might be time to raise rates.
I disagree. Since Trumponomics has practically ZERO inflation, there is no reason to keep interest rates artificially high.
