The Federal Reserve's inflation target
Shiny, new, unopened & unused
When Federal Reserve officials meet this week, they will despondently confront an economy yet again falling short. Employment growth has flagged. GDP probably grew less than 2% (annualized) in the first half of this year; clouds from Europe, Asia and America's own "fiscal cliff" darken the second half. The Federal Open Market Committee's full year forecast of 2.4% to 2.9% looks out of reach.
Comment: To say that Fed officials are confused would be too generous.
