Senioritis is brutal

Actually, senioritis is kind of sweet. It's having to listen to a really really long lecture on fiscal policy after going over the end-of-the-year Senior activities (prom, picnic, baccalaureate - for which I definitely need to start practicing - and graduation itself) that makes senioritis so damn evil.

Thus my negative reaction to the words "economic growth." It's not a bad thing at all, I'm just so damn sick of using and hearing it.

The Fed's policymaking body, the Federal Open Market Committee, unanimously agreed to raise its benchmark interest rate to 4.75 percent from 4.5 percent, marking the 15th consecutive increase since June 2004.

And with unemployment low and energy prices high, "further policy firming may be needed" to keep inflation in check, the FOMC statement said, signaling that at least one more rate increase might be in store.

Zzzzzzzzz....
