I've said it before and I'll say it again, the US economy is a very complicated maze. There's good featuring the labor market and wages and also not so good with inflation still a pain in the neck. Agreed that the sentiment will always be a partisan issue but It's also important to present the facts about the state of the economy and not some wild propaganda.

As an insider could you explain why the Fed would publicize what officials speculate that they themselves will do in the future.? After all, we do don't know what data they are expecting to see that would lead them to decide on changing or not changing a policy instrument? It could seem contradictory to being data driven.

Do you feel any frustration that the Treasury is not providing more expectations-reveling market instruments. In addition to 1, 2, an 3 year TIPS, it could issue a issue a Trillionth security with maturity linked to TIPS.
