Its been making those since last september. In a statement, the federal open Market Committee said its waiting for evidence that progress will be sustained before adjusting the wais of its purchases. The stimulus has pumped cash into the mortgage and bond markets, keeping Mortgage Rates and borrowing costs low. That has fueled the red hot Housing Market and spurred stocks to a 20 gain over the past year. Many investors expect stocks to go higher. Good news for 401 k s but only half the country is invested in stocks. There are fewer people working but fewer people who are looking for work and so that meant that the Unemployment Rate came down but for the wrong reasons. Reporter companies are used to getting by with fewer workers since the recession. That and slow Economic Growth but ben bernanke and whoever succeeds him in a tough spot.

Its 11 days to a possible Government Shutdown and this latest budget battle pitting republicans in congress against president obama is becoming the symptoming aturning sequel to the sequel. What i will not do is to create a habit, a pattern, whereby the full faith and credit of the United States ends up being a bargaining chip to set policy.
