This Is What The "Main Street Serving" Fed's Wall Street Advisors Told It To Do About Future Rate Hikes

Yesterday, in an impassioned appeal to the hearts and minds of Americans everywhere, Minneapolis Fed Neel Kashkari said that the Fed is "here to serve Main Street" the same main street which currencly has $8.4 trillion in savings accounts currently earning exactly 0% in interest.
