"Secret" meetings between the Fed Chair and just about anybody is and must be the norm and has been since 1916!  I suspect they were discussing the weakness of the rest of the world economy and how it threatens the strong US economy.

Ron Paul and the rest of the Laissez Faire bunch have predicted 12 of the last 8 recessions.

I am fully aware that very few people on this forum will ever admit the economy is anything but a disaster as long as a Democrat is in the WH. Anybody on this forum with the balls to do so will admit that if the current occupant had an R after his name they would be praising the current economy to high heaven!

The facts are, the U.S. economy is in a pretty strong position...certainly best in, most aspects, since the fading of the Clinton years boom during the early W days.  I walk my Intown neighborhood at least 4 times a week and there are more "help wanted" signs in storefronts than I have seen in at least 15 years! That may not be something that means anything to the Fed or Bernie Sanders or Ted Cruz  and it may not be the situation in Montgomery or B'ham, but it is in Atlanta and it, along with the return of bidding wars in residential sales, speaks loud and clear to me!
