"If the Fed does not raise interest rates, higher inflation is almost assured."

"Tell us here today, and, of course, you are speaking to the American people, why our economy is not moving, our jobs are not growing, unemployment is going in the wrong direction."

"But that is not a solution to their problem, though----"

"The failure to adopt a pro-growth economic plan or to restrain Federal spending has effectively boxed the Fed into a corner."
