Oh! Golly! Gosh! Trump is screwing up everything! [/s] My Liberal friends will tell you all about it!
Meanwhile, Powell sits on his thumbs and whines that Twumpy Bear is causing “uncertainty”.
The target inflation rate has been met. So uh...howse about a few basis points off the fed rate?
Oh sorry...can’t do dat. No one be buyin’ da bonds...
The rap changes to fit the plan.
Problem is not inflation. Problem is fugly big national debt requiring Trillion dollars plus every year paying out in interest. Feds need to sell bonds to pay cash for maturing bonds. And the cost of servicing nation debt is causing more budget deficits and higher national debt. If interest rates were reduced, less bond buyers.
Balance the budget and interest rates will come down.
Consumer sentiment has also risen. And for the first time in 29 years, a majority of Americans say the country is “on the right track”.
"The Press" lies because they're vile AND stupid. Rick Santelli - a founding father of the future - told the truth on air the other day - he might have been the only person who did... who also understands the situation.
Furthermore, an appeals court has temporarily blocked the Trade Court’s injunction on Trump’s tariffs, IIRC. Hopefully, many agreements can be made for actual FREE AND FAIR trade between us and other countries, so the ultimate tariff rate — I believe Trump will want some level permanently — won’t be so high.
Maybe Powell can direct that toward CONgress, since CONgress passed the Big, Beautiful Brobdingnag, which has a $2.2T deficit.
F the government. Both sides.
Correct! But CONgress not only didn’t cut a single penny from the deficit, they INCREASED it to $2.2T, the little sh!ts.
I forget, what was your previous screename?
Doesn’t matter. Recall I made fun of your argument in the latter part of the post.
The Reserve “bank” has been consistently saying that their target rate of inflation is 2% for something like 30 years. That’s been Powell’s excuse whenever Trump is in office.
They use the Argument Du Jour to maintain whatever rate will do maximum damage to Trump. Inflation up? That’s the problem. Spending up? Trump’s fault.
That’s all that’s going on.
MSM can do their magic now…..
Inflation dropped , why thats not always a good thing
Personal income tripled but not why you think it did
US trade deficit cut by 46% , why US ports are now struggling
“Rick Santelli - a founding father of the future - told the truth on air the other day”
I’m surprised his overlords at CNBC allow him to tell the truth at times.
I blame Trump for proposing a bill which
Increase national debt by Trillions of dollars. Good to see there are still some fiscal conservatives remaining in Congress who are trying to CUT Spending.
Ooops, did TRUMP do that?
You are correct. They all are addicted to spending OPM. Other People’s Money.
Trump comes from a builders background. What do builders love to do? Borrow money at low interest rates. There is very small cutting in the BBB.
Rick Santelli’s a brave man...
Gas down to $2.41 here in Georgia east of Atlanta now. Love this winning!
Sure, inflation is at 2.1%.
Watched the local news and boy are they trying to spin all this in a negative light. But but but TARRIFFS!
“”Good to see there are still some fiscal conservatives remaining in Congress who are trying to CUT Spending.””
Hey Bobby, where have all your conservatives in Congress been for the past 50 plus years?
