Just so you understand, the Fed is (from what we know at this point) going to take the rates to probably around 2.0% this year, thus hopes to save the banking system from looming armageddon and sees GDP growth for Q1 and Q2 of this year 'below trend', i.e. between 0% and 2%. I do not want to debate with you if you think that's achievable - we all know how what you think from your daily repetitive drivel - I am just pointing out this is the Fed's working scenario. Once this pans out - so they hope - they want to rapidly (unlike Greenspan in 2004 who left rates too low for way to long) hike rates again on the first evidence of stabilization of both employment and corporate profit growth.
