Go to the Federal Reserve's website (federalreserve.gov) and find a summary of the most recent FOMC meeting. The meeting minutes will be available, but they can be lengthy. Use the minutes for this question if you cannot find the summary. Write up a summary of the chief points discussed in the most recent meeting. In your summary, identify the committee's position on the economy, a future outlook, and any remarks on fiscal policy. Keep your answer under 1 page.
