> The decision to ease came “in light of progress on inflation and the balance of risks.” <

That’s some funny stuff right there. The Fed - as part of the Deep State - certainly wants Harris to win. A cut in interest rates will help her.

A 1/2 point cut might also reignite inflation. But that pain probably won’t be felt until after the election. So let’s not worry about that.

Saving Fed.gov’s bacon, or rather, kicking the can down the road.

Fed.gov Interest expense is now over $1 trillion per year, larger than defense.

Since Fed.gov is also issuing more short-term debt than ever, this will have a more immediate effect
