FED mandate: Full employment, 2% inflation target.

Employment: Over full, statistically.

Inflation: 1.6%, below target.

1/4 point cut: Just fine, move on.

Goldilocks economy.

The American economy will be hurt if only two other countries have healthy economies. Keeping the dollar this strong will slow US businesses- by a cut the President wants to keep global sales moving.

You do understand that when the Fed announces a 2% inflation target they are announcing the profits they plan to make for themselves. Inflation does not just happen.
