Why The Fed Does Not Want To Raise Rates

As long as the Federal Reserve is willing to bluff, as long as the Fed is able to pretend that they can raise interest rates, then everybody can pretend that what the Fed did work. But the minute they raise interest rates and prove that the economy cannot withstand higher rates then they expose everything and that is why they do not want to do it.

The Federal Reserve Will Have To Do QE4 Regardless

The Federal Reserve will have to do QE4 regardless. Even if they get interest rates to 0.50% and then the next recession starts. There is not a lot of ammunition. Normally when there is a recession the Fed is at 5.00%, they have a long way to reduce interest rates. Going from 5.00% to zero is a much bigger Keynesian stimulus than going from 0.50% to zero.

I think if they raise interest rates and then they have to go to zero they will look like fools.
