Low unemployment rates, $1.5 trillion in tax cuts, a positive presidential economic report — it looks like the economy is entering uncharted waters. Or at least according to the Fed it is.

Jerome Powell will be on the Hill next week for his first testimony as chair of the Fed, so we talk about what to expect.
