Ya, I am thinking the real recession hasn't even started yet. I hope they can figure out that they are making things worse fairly quickly and stop doing things. We will be better off if they did nothing. Their tinkering is the main reason we are in this mess in the first place. ya right, with unemployment still climbing, the government raising taxes and spending us into oblivion.

It takes so long for the effects of a rate change to affect the market so they try to stay a step ahead. If they really thought the economy was going to recover, they would’ve started to increase the rates. They increase rates if they think inflation will get out of control in the future.

Inflation trails economic recovery, so rates go up some time after the economy does begin growing. Also, rates decline to boost economic activity, but only rise to fight inflation.

I feel that the economy will stay stagnant or grow slowly for the next 6 months or more. I agree completely. I feel that the economy will stay stagnant or grow slowly for the next 6 months or more.

Why does everyone believe that the economy has to get worse or get better? Whatever happened to staying as it is? Just because the recession is over, a recovery is not necessarily going to occur immediately afterwords. I believe the economy will plateau for a while longer while everything, and everyone, adjusts to the new market conditions. The recession took a while before jobs were cut, and when the recovery happens, jobs will take a while before they are offered again.
