Unfortunately, not only has TDS politics poisoned DA’s and AG’s and Judges and other government positions, it has poisoned The Fed.

The last 3 months, inflation was .1%, .2%, then .1%.

Tariffs have not hurt us.

From your link: During Biden’s entire term, Powell kept rates pinned to near zero, through record inflation, multi-trillion-dollar Biden spending sprees, and a labor market tighter than a native drum

Powell's FED raised interest rates in 2022 and 2023. However, IMO Powell should not speculate publicly about inflation.

It is simple: Democrats/Powell want America to fail and people to suffer so Democrats regain power.

What tariffs? Most tariffs are paused. We had about a week of Liberation day tariffs.

Tariffs are ongoing since he announced them. He only cut them back from the high. Almost every country has 10% minimum and some it is higher.
