"Inflation hasn't gotten into Americans' psychology."

"Americans have faith Fed can bring inflation down."

"We need further rate hikes, hold policies until we are truly done with getting inflation down."

"There's a lot of room to slow labor market, I expect unemployment to rise to 4.5%."

"We have a narrow path for softer landing."
