I hope the people over at the Fed will read today’s Wall Street Journal Editorial before they make yet another mistake. Also, don’t let the market become any more illiquid than it already is. Stop with the 50 B’s. Feel the market, don’t just go by meaningless numbers. Good luck!
Is it today or tomorrow the fed announces another rate hike?
The Feds want to tank the economy by 20. We all know why.

Tomorrow. I just posted Trump’s Tweet about that.
Sorry about #4. I thought I was on another thread.
Trump needs to use reverse psychology. He should tweet that he hopes the feds raise interest rates.
I heard some commentator say that if the Fed doesn’t raise rates they will have nothing to use (lowering rate) if the economy turns south. Sounds like BS to me.
There is still price inflation and no wage inflation while energy prices are low. That imo is a healthy growth economy, nothing else. If they raise rates than it shows they’re only interested in banking profits not the responsibilities of their charter.
Thanks; I couldn’t remember which day.

You’re correct. That is 100% elitist BS.
If we were ever in such a situation the correct course would be to cut taxes.

Any inflation we have today was created in the past with quantitative easing. Economic growth does not cause inflation. What caused the inflation in Venezuela?
Of course the fed is in on the #nevertrump. Their job is to destroy the gains and if necessary the economy.
The intent of the Fed and even the big investment banks which manipulate stocks is apparent. They will do all they can to weaken Trump politically so as to advance the globalist agenda via the Democrats. There will be economic trouble ahead. IMHO given the disposition of the manipulators, a declining stock market, international trade wars, economic uncertainty, enormous state, Federal and personal debts declining oil prices, worldwide political instability not to mention the weakening of the Catholic Church and other value based institutions: My advice is to at this time shun equities, bonds and even real estate and buy precious metals such as gold, platinum and to a lesser extent silver.
Now is a good time to educate people on the dangers of the Fed. They can decide to tank our economy and presidents, congressmen, judges, citizens don’t get to say anything about it, just have to take it. Nobody elected them, they aren’t answerable to anyone, and they have an agenda. Yet we act like they are some impartial titans from Mount Olympus who we accept wisdom from regardless of the impacts on society.
I think the USA is coming out of a depression and demand is up for everything, so even the feds can’t f-— that up.
Tomorrow probably.
Is this the same Fed that kept interest rates RIDICULOUSLY low for years during the Bush (Republican) administration? Low rates that finally crashed the housing crash in 2007-2008? Do you think they’ve learned their lesson?
I doubt it.
But since we're already running trillion dollar deficits the ability to cut taxes without the deficit doubling or tripling is limited.
We’ve been in a depression for over ten years covered up with funny money, we traded bread lines for debt. The only way out now that the economy is picking up, is to cut taxes, open all the valves and remove all economic impediments.
Unfortunately, most of America doesn’t know the facts.

Why would that be a problem if interest rates are zero?
