Trump's guy...
Except it's not just Trump. We've had a succession of stupid, draining wars. The Biden Administration was awful, too, and did more than its fair share of Gaza baby bombing. Somehow, we've got to get out from under the two party system. It's no longer viable because the nation is too big and too philosophically and religiously diverse. A two party system at this point is ripe for extremism and ferocity, and for all intents and purposes, the only thing it represents is itself with its internal cronyism, greed and moral deficit. Poor Sanders is up there representing the last decent politician, like the last of the MohicansI think the hatred between the trumpdump and Powell is mutual...felon donnie is already talking about taking over the Fed. God help us all if that ever happens..
Literally everything trump touches relating to our government and the American people turns to shit. EVERYTHING! The only things that haven't turned to shit (yet) are the reason he ran for President...his never ending need to enrich himself and his worthless family at the expense of the American people... That's OK, he's the bankruptcy guru, wait for more of them as the entire world turns on him, all of his golf courses and gaudy hotels...
Most American's don't give a rats ass about his personal grifter wealth...but we all should...he's robbing this country blind.
No real surprise here. Fed was in a pickle, they couldn't lower rates because that would acknowledge that Trump was right. So they punted and said pretty much what they said the meeting before.

You guys keep forgetting about the massive trickle down raises from the 2017 tax cuts that are coming any day now, and honestly,
I'm getting a little tired of reminding you.
Weaker growth. Higher inflation.
Just like Trump promised during the campaign.
"The Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged for the fourth straight meeting, as its leaders projected weaker growth and higher inflation this year than they envisioned three months ago — but they continue to expect two rate cuts later this year."
Trump campaign promise issued. Trump campaign promise kept.and I wouldn't be surprised if we're heading into a significant recession
Trump campaign promise issued. Trump campaign promise kept.
Lower prices.
If he didn't before, I'm sure by now Powell detests Trump. Trump seems to have that effect on people that work around him, near him or wherever. Even Elon took an exit.
Yay, higher prices! Thanks Trump.
No, there was global inflation that hit as a result of COVID distributing supply chains that everyone went through. It spiked, and it came back down, which is the definition of transitory.Were you not noticing how much higher prices had gotten under Biden? That's what was happening because Biden was trying to pay people to stay at home instead of going to work and being productive.
You, and Yellen and Fed Chairman Powell called that "transitory inflation" - but of course it wasn't, it was permanent.
Lies.Suddenly, and without warning, leftists became immensely concerned with even the possibility of the slightest price increase...
Very good!Weaker growth. Higher inflation.
Just like Trump promised during the campaign.
<snipped>
If republicans hated inflation under a booming economy, they’re really going to hate inflation under a shrinking one.
Because of intentional stupidity by trumpSuddenly, and without warning, leftists became immensely concerned with even the possibility of the slightest price increase...

yur getting tired of Winning.
and yur right, it is getting exhausting and will not quit.
maybe we have the fed rates and tariffs all wrong: this is the Golden Age.
yeah.

I think we're probably looking at stagflation, with maybe more emphasis on the stag than on the flation, but there are so many moving parts right now, it's really hard to tell where this is going. I doubt anywhere good, though.

You're ignoring what Trump is trying to do. He's trying to force China to open up its markets to American products, instead of shutting them out.What Trump is causing isn't because if some global pandemic and others aren't getting hit as we are. What we are screaming into is the result of Trump's policies.
