  • Q: Can you say anything about the Fed's reaction function re the pace of cuts going forward?
    • A: I think the reality is that forecasters have been surprised by the strength of the economy last year.  So I think we had to be pretty humble about giving forward guidance.  We need to be careful about that.  Nobody has great vision deep into the future.

    • A: It is not something that comes up at all in the FOMC.
