I would like to close with a quote from the original “Come with Me to the FOMC” speech by Edward Wayne: “This is your central bank. This is your Federal Open Market Committee. This is your country.
May we all hope that a kind providence will give us the wisdom, the judgment, the patience, the tact, the diplomacy, and the courage to do what seems right and best day by day.”  5  For more information, see Deborah J. Danker and Matthew M. Luecke (2005), “Background on FOMC Meeting Minutes”, Federal Reserve Bulletin, vol. 91, pp. 175–179.
