The Fed increased the target rate of the federal funds rate nine times since December 2015 through December 2018. An increase in the targeted rate implies a reduction in the growth rate of the money supply.

Many critics said that the Fed's policy move would reduce economic growth. How can their arguments be countered? Note that the Fed has been very public about announcing its policy decisions since 1994.
