o If the Federal Open Market Committee is not allowed to simply declare Interest Rates, what authorities do they have?  How do these lead to changes in the interest rate you pay?

o Go to the “Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System” page (there is a link provided under the reading list).  Open the statement provided from the most recent FOMC meeting and explain their current outlook on Economic Growth.  What are the positives and negatives they have identified?

o What is the dual mandate of the Federal Reserve?  How are these two things consistently at odds?  Explain.  How does this make the job of the Federal Reserve tricky?  Explain.
