Although voting members of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) -- the 12-person body, including Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, responsible for setting the nation's monetary policy -- don't always lay their cards on the table for everyone to see, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland President Beth Hammack just did, and it has massive implications for Wall Street.
