The rate was 0% from 2006 through December 2015. Nine years of 0%, almost Obama's entire tenure
In December 2015 there was 1 increase, and in December 2016, one additional increase, as in December 2017, 1 increase.
In 2018, there have been four (4) increases.
IF the economy was so great and wonderful during Obama's two (2) terms, why did the FED wait until 2015 to increase rates? Only once more in 2016, and then once more in 2017, after the election, and then 4 times in 2018?
POLITICS is the answer, the FED PLAYS POLITICS.
Do a historical search of FED rates decreases and increases and whom was the party in power and then tell me FED doesn't PLAY POLITICS
