Prompts: In general, explain the actions of the Federal Reserve in terms of what we've learned in class--why are they holding rates low?  Why are they tapering purchases of bonds?  Why are they watching foreign economies?  Why the focus in interest rates and unemployment and why can they keep the interest rates low?  How do bond purchases tie in with the interest rates? (and similar questions)
