Louis Fed.
Thank you for coming.
coming in this morning here in Washington.
And we have some news in Washington that we may be getting close to the end of the shutdown, which would release data.
But just in case that doesn't happen, based on what you know now, what do you think about the economy?
Well, we know that when the data comes out, everybody will be parsing it carefully, but is it going to add a lot to your knowledge of where the economy is and possibly change any decision you might make?
But the consumption that remains resilient, obviously at the upper ends you have the stock market wealth effect driving it.
But I know you've been worried about the lower deciles because they're taking on more debt.
Well, taking on debt to continue consumption, a cynical economist might say, where have we heard that before?
And how did that turn out?
Are you worried that we're setting up for a problem?
Companies, I know, have been telling you and your colleagues for some time that they're waiting for clarity, especially on fiscal policy going forward.
which doesn't seem to necessarily be coming.
Are any of them saying we're kind of at a point now where we have to raise prices to keep up with our input prices or we have to cut back on people because our margins are compressing?
The labor market, how fragile is it?
We've seen a lot of layoff announcements over the past couple of weeks.
Is this a gathering trend?
Are we going to start talking about the SOM rule again?
In terms of supply problems in the labor market, monetary policy can't affect that.
Now, there are two arguments that seems to be at the Fed right now.
