The fed releasing the monetary report to Congress Ahead of testimony next week. We go to cayla toushy. In the blue print, the new chair sticks to the script touting data base decisions, a strong labor market, and inflation that is moving toward that ever important 2 target. It should be noted that in this report the majority of fed members said they saw inflation at that target by 2019 and stabilizing at that target over the next few years. They did say that theyre monitoring the effect of online retailers and international effects on that inflation level over time.

But even more, he was a man of the people, a bricklayers son who helped to build the Great American middle class. Tip oneill never forgot who he was, where he came from, or who sent him here.

We sat there had for a b hour and learned nothing about our safety, about our education, about what hes going to do to help us. Were not to stop until we get school security.
