Artificial anything is never the right formula in the long run. The artificial low interest rates are a direct wealth transfer from savers & seniors to low income group consumers.

Obama keeps Yellen in a Duffle Bag and only lets her out to read a statement

“Any increase at all will be a very, very small increase because they want to keep the market up so Obama goes out and let the new guy … raise interest rates … and watch what happens in the stock market.”

I like his self-confidence. :)

I love Trump because he’s the ONLY candidate on either side willing to at least talk about the statist, unconstitutional, soviet-central-planning, progressive mess that is the Federal Reserve.

Trump is right. However the damage is done, so much money has moved to the stock market that a plunge in prices in response to raising interest rates to a more natural level could create panic selling and crash the thing.

Unwinding this will be hard to do without there being lasting damage.

This is another window that Trump is drawing the curtain back, pay attention, we might find out where ‘our’ money, stocks and bonds and gold bars are really going...

It will take a few days or weeks, but the curtains have been opened since he started this election...watch, you will find out...

Trump seems to be very aware of how it works.

This argument is the main reason I’m supporting Donald Trump and I’m so happy Mr. Trump is raising the issue since the criminals in power have been mum on this up to now. The arrogance of the central planners who have inflicted this terribly punitive policy on savers, the elderly and retired, and good hardworking American citizens in general. Never in my lifetime has the government so broken faith with the people and so broken with traditional policy to deny us a little bit of interest income on our savings. I will never vote for another thieving, scheming Democrat again. Prayers offered up to Almighty God to protect us from government thieves.

Yellen is only doing what her bosses, the Rockefeller/Rothschild clans tells her to do

No no Trump is wrong! Just ask boy genius Mark Cuban who fancies himself an expert on everything because he got lucky in the stock market in the 90’s.

Something that many of us have been aware of for at least the last 6 years. There are a few (like that expanamapat - or whatever his screen name is) that claim to be so astute that only they know that the market is really healthy (despite the last couple years of astound leaps towards 19,000 and stunning (and "unexpected") dives towards 16,000 (which it may be getting ready to do again.

I guess those in a position to profit by taking more actual value from the market as it becomes available have reason to think everything is just peachy keen.

yellen has her own health issues she has never disclosed

She went “absent” during a speech a year ago and no one even remembers

If I were an inaugurated Trump, I would cordially invite Miss Yellen to commit ritual seppuku.

Yellen is doing what she is supposed to be doing. The federal reserve act gives three goals to the Federal reserve: Maximum Employment, Stable prices, moderate long term interest rates.

Trump thinks unemployment is vastly understated. And I agree. But if so, then Yellen is doing the right thing for unemployment by keeping rates low.

The problem is that it’s a bandaid. We need to restore the import tariffs and bring back industries to fix the problem. That’s not Yellen’s fault. That’s congressional and presidential trade policy’s fault.

Trump needs to leave the Federal Reserve alone. I think he is going after the Ron Paul supporters with these comments, but it worries me, because I know the Federal Reserve has been good for the country. Prices have been more stable than when we were on the gold standard. We’ve not had a depression when we used to have them every 20 years.

Many of us have been saying this for many years now, even under Bush. The agenda is to rob pensioners for the benefit of debtors. Has been that for a long time. But good Trump is pointing that out.

Donald’s right, she should. But liberals have no shame — and besides, it’s what 0bama hired her to do.
