The Federal Reserve Is Basing Its Assumptions On A Robust Recovery

The Federal Reserve is basing its assumptions on a robust recovery which we both agree its not going to take place. I think that if the Federal Reserve were actually to follow through with the tightening that it has telegraphed, we would be in a recession. And of course, what does the Federal Reserve do in a recession? It prints money and lowers rates. So, its impossible for the Federal Reserve to do what it has claimed its going to do.
