My FOMC colleagues and I believe that we can best support progress on these longer-term issues by pursuing the Federal Reserve’s mandate and supporting continued economic growth, a strong labor market, and inflation near 2 percent. The topic of managing uncertainty in policymaking remains particularly salient.
Listen, you keep on asking questions as if tomorrow I’m going to leave. I still have quite some time before my mandate expires. I may be willing to answer questions about myself at the date which is closer to the end of my mandate than it is today. The other question, as I said, it’s fundamentally a backward-looking measure. What has changed?
