WHAT DO YOU DO.

There was an interesting article that came out recently on when should the fed raise rates. In the article it pointed out just how incredibly difficult it is to lower unemployment just by 1 percentage point. It said based on the standard rate increase formula which factors in unemployment and...

"With Democrats holding a 13-10 majority on the committee the outcome of Tuesday's vote is not in doubt." What are the odds that something so huge like this would be voted on and likely to be approved on a day after the DOW makes a new high? I would assume that this thing is bad for a...
