What is Powell doing wrong?
*****************
Not much.
We have a strong President & good central banker.
This combination doesn’t always happen, but is needed at this critical historic time period.
Lock the sob up and then find something!! The the Dems something not b*tch about...
Give the Dems**
Is that what we’re going to have to listen to for the next four years? Anyone who disobeys, or disagrees Trump should be “locked up”? Is that really the road you want to go down? Or are you just a blowhard shooting your mouth off?
Re: 42 - posted like a true anti-American.
This is going to be long.
What you are missing is what happened in ‘06 and Bernanke’s actions.
Back in’06 we were facing a depression level event. The goal was not to correct it. The goal was to PREVENT DEPRESSION!!
People were already making a run at the banks.
One of 3 main problems that caused the great depression was banks not having enough physical dollars to pay to depositors.
So, Bernanke cranked up the printing presses.
Bush didn’t stop them before he left office.
FUBO got elected and for 8 years kept the party rolling along.
Then President Trump got elected and kept the party rolling along.
Then bite me got elected and kept the party rolling along.
After 16 years the house of cards collapsed. The ‘06 depression level event was finally going to play itself out.
But wait...
Biteme decided that we should still keep the party rolling and kept the presses running.
Powell is a big part of that.
Fire him, stop the presses, and let the ‘06 depression finally play itself out.
We will come out on the other side better than we could ever think!
Fire this a hole and let the healing begin!!
Been a lot of that lately, along with “string ‘em up”. In keeping the libs’ worst caricature of conservatives. Sad.
We need to call it out when we see it. Thanks for stepping up. True conservatives believe in the Constitution and Rule of Law, not locking up everyone who disagrees with a president. It’s one of the most important things that separates a constitutional republic from a dictatorship.
Let’s keep our Republic!
“Powell has two mandates. Low unemployment, low inflation.”
—’-
Exactly. The Fed Chair is also supposed to act in a politically neutral manner, going only by the numbers and following that mandate.
It appears to me Powell is simply doing his best to fulfill his mandate.
Just a reminder that Trump is the one who appointed Powell.
Fed has been lowering rates late 2024. If not for the tariff chos, they’d likely have continued to drop as inflation has been settling.
Inflation has nothing, nothing, to do with private š interest rate gouging.
It has everything to do with Federal debt. āļø
Settle down Francis...
This is the tactic orchestrated continually by the left. The left makes up stories, the left falsely accuses, the left locks people up and THEN looks for the crime.
We do nothing but talk and threaten. finding and nailing somebody with all the fraud found would be like shooting fish in a barrel. rounding up any one of the feds KNOWN to be at the J6 Rally would be like shooting fish in a barrel. Going after ANY Politician for KNOWN crimes would be like shooting fish in a barrel. But we do nothing except talk and threaten.
Dont hand me ANY of that crap about being patient, they’ve only been in office a couple months, They need Rock Solid evidence because of (Any excuse here). The left plays dirty. playing dirty in return to a foe who plays dirty DOES NOT MEAN you would do that to the citizens (although the left would).
We have made nice and have been Patient since I have been aware starting with Bush/Clinton... Obumfk.... Biden... Bush jr... Trumps first term... WTF has it gotten us!!!!!?????
You people have to stop being pu**ies and start stomping your feet louder than the Democrats are stomping and start DEMANDING Indictments. If this was 20 years ago, there would have already been five marches for justice to come together as one voice and be heard. Now, you all cop out and lash out at some who WANTS something to happen, not 6 months from now, not a year from now, not 3 years from now, NOW!!!
Do you honestly think these judges would be doing ANY of this if other members of their political party were being hauled in for questioning. Their own party would tell them to back tf off of Trump. THAT is called putting them on defense. That is called putting US on OFFENSE!!
START INDICTING PEOPLE NNNOOOWWW!!!!!!!!!
you are one simple individual...
Lowering rates will fuel inflation, and that kills everybody.
Yea.....NO. In this case, small decrease wouldn’t fuel inflation and the EU just did that anyway. The best way, IMHO to control inflation in today’s environment, is to decrease GOVERNMENT SPENDING. Trump is doing that, so the Fed should adjust a bit to compensate. The Fed isn’t moving for political reasons, not for economic ones, and that is a VERY bad thing.
The FED will want ROI.
You can’t get ROI if the Government isn’t solvent and the currency crashes.
The FED should ‘manage’ inflation, but should ‘help’ with a threatening national debt.
OK Junior, I think you really are ranting from your motherās basement. Especially since what youāre effectively advocating for is a police state. Sorry. Iām a small government conservative. I believe in individual freedom, smaller government, and lower taxes. Not ālocking people upā as a first resort, and then finding what we should lock them up for. I voted for a president. Not a Czar.
ok if that is what you took away from my “Rant”, then I am truly sorry... You’re too stupid to waste any more of my time on...
Inflation is receding and jobs are opening up. 45 recovered Obama’s failed economy and he’ll do it again as 47 with Biden’t failed economy.
47 SHOULD fire every.single.holdover from the Pedo’s regime.
“the left locks people up and THEN looks for the crime.”
You apparently want us to be as lawless and evil as they are.

Thanks, but I know all that. I lived through it. It doesn’t change Powell’s job mandate, which is to keep inflation low and employment high. He’s doing both and the FED governors aren’t voting against him. Lowering rates now would go completely against the FED’s stated mission.
Spending control is the govt’s job, not Powell’s. The most Powell can do it point it out, and he’s in trouble for doing that.
Valid point....
