WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS DEMOCRAT PIECE OF SHIT DOING JUST LOWER THE RATES WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLES LIVES ARE AT STAKE...

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS DEMOCRAT PIECE OF SHIT DOING JUST LOWER THE RATES WHAT THE FUCK PEOPLES LIVES ARE AT STAKE HERE LITERAL FOREIGN PLANT

dont you want to see a few consecutive quarters of good data first before lowering rates?

Thats too slow and he will be too late AGAIN. He has the chance to fix his mistakes and cut preemptively. He had no problem cutting to help Biden. Fucking traitor piece of shit is keep rates high just for pure politics.

energy prices down

inflation gone

refuses to cut rates anyways, dooming American economy into endless stagflation all just to fuck Trump over.

He needs to go to jail for this. People should be protesting in the streets.

employment and inflation are currently inline with their mandate, it seems like the "mistake" you want to fix is actually getting congress to change the targets

Youre insane.

Is this happening now? I thought the conference was tomorrow

The US empire is collapsing and you're angry about the only competent public figure left anywhere near the US Government

Insiders already aware of rate pause

Youre blinded by your rage against Trump. Irrational and mad.

youre the one seething in all caps for powell to save your bags when he's just doing his job correctly

how about you get a real job, you dumb faggot? then you could wait for him to pump your bags and you wouldnt be making seething threads about it because you overinvested

Everything is going down isn't it

HOW CAN I NOT SEETHE WHEN MY COUNTRY IS HELD HOSTAGE BY POLITICIANS WHAT THE FUCK IM DOWN SO FUCKING MUCH

ummm nope, not gonna do anything

This. I stayed in the fed toilets overnight so they couldn't kick me out and now I hear Jerome talking about 2 scoops and AI gaza photos.

Rates aren't even high enough. The interest rate aught to be pegged at 8% for the next one hundred years. People who borrow money should be punished by society, not rewarded. The U.S. government especially, aught to pay 10% interest on its 30 year bonds. It is what they deserve for being fake & gay

Powell gets fired and replaced with a stooge

cuts rates to fuck

now you can't afford anything

But do you really need to afford those things?

NOOOOOOOOOOO I CANT BUY 1000 LAMBOS NOW!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah but Americans will finally have their jobs and dignity back. Do I care if some rich fuck democrat gets his 9th yacht? FUCKING LOWER RATES NOW.

Sure thing you are gonna have a job in a hyperinflation scenario

The only way any fed reserve chair can do their job correctly would be to torch the federal reserve and publicly release all their internal documents. Anything less than that is at minimum sedition

whats wrong cant pay your mortgage??

hyperinflation scenario

If theres gonna be hyperinflation it will be caused by powell or dems.

do you want the fed to lower or raise interest rates? make up your mind

He's a Republican

naughty anon, you fucked what that poor npc's programming. i hope you're proud of yourself

it is being caused by trump as we speak, shiplet

Checked repeater digits of truth

butthurt much (^:

caves in

"competent" nigger who is the sole reason of the empire collapsing kek

JUST LOWER THE RATES

Why?

energy prices down

inflation gone

lol

If you are trying to park a car, and you're going forward towards the parking spot at 15 M/h, if you reach the parking spot and are precisely at the intended place, do you think it's logically coherent to say

why adjust the speed? we are at our target!

Or would you brake and stop the car as you are at the target location?

Jail is too good for him, anon. but he'll be in a more deserving place soon. Hopefully sooner

LITERAL FOREIGN PLANT

Nominated by Trump and confirmed by a Republican-controlled Senate btw

retard migger. j powell has probably single handedly saved the economy 7 times from trump bullshit, 5 times in 2016-2020 and now twice more in 2025

Major loser Jerome Powell would rather see everyone go broke and unemployed than to lower rates and encourage this Trump administration

It sounds likes you invested in the wrong things.

It's great watching people with debt cry like they're gonna die after they spent three decades gloating about their gains and telling people with savings to harden up and pull up their bootstraps.
Suck on a giant wet turd boomer.

If you are already parked a car, and you're at the precisely at the intended place, do you think it's logically coherent to say

>why keep the it here? Slam the gas!

Or would engage the handbrake as you are at the target location?

Shit analogy that depends entirely on what you classify as moving at speed. And let me tell you ZIRP is not fucking standing still.

stocks went down but then everyone found money to buy them again and they went up

bitcoin at >90k

fartcoin market cap >1 billion

if people have enough money to buy fartcoin - they don't need more dollars
use the dollars that are already thre instead of moving them from stocks to fartcoins and vice versa
interest rates +8000% to promote sanity NOW

ZIRP is indeed not standing still, but we have very hogh interest rates now. These high interest rates helped rapidly push the numbers down to the levels we needed, but now we're leaving them high for way too long, remember these are lagging figures, so if we're at the target that means we should have lowered interest to like 2% at least 3 months ago

You want inflation?

Tariffs cause inflation

lowering rates increases inflation

unemployment all time lows

Uhhhhhhhh so.. Why does everyone want to lower rates?
I want to lower rates cause the tariffs cause a deflationary spiral. But no one agrees with me on this. So why does everyone else want powell to lower rates?

It also incourage people to leave safe bets and risk more. People are already cautious about spending and lowering the rates will mitigate this.

Because miggers and hedgies huff avgas

Because morons don't understand macroeconomics 101 and just think a lower policy rate = pump the economy.

People are already cautious about spending

bruh TSLA is up 18% this month, NVDA is up 15%, bitcoin is hovering around ATH, people are DEFINITELY NOT cautious about spending, there's obviously so much liquidity people have nothing to do with it

Pleeease I dun goofed and you need to help me save safe

Like wtf? We do not need to cause supply drive price hikes through excessive borrowing right now.

US debt is too high at these rates. 1/3 of all taxes collected will go to servicing just the debt.

Technically he's a republican.

This guy is about to cause the next great recession. What's worse is we still have another year with this clown.

I just got my bank lifted
Fuck this retarded nigger Powell

PEOPLES LIVES ARE AT STAKE

blinded by your rage

irrational

mad

MY COUNTRY IS HELD HOSTAGE BY POLITICIANS

The "accuse them of my faults" school of conservative argument is more popular than it's ever been. It's hard to believe it can get any more dramatic.
And thanks for the laugh with sandwiching "you're mad and irrational" in between all-caps shitposting. It's impressive seeing conservative hypocrisy this condensed. Usually the flip-flop doesn't happen from one sentence to the very next.
And then you cap it off with the fact that you don't even know you're angry at a Trump-approved Republican.
How do we recover from the mental illness of politics being this severe and this common in a population? Is it even possible?

Tariffs cause inflation

This should be no issue if Trump actually lowers income tax to compensate for it. Tariffs are just another tax.

lowering rates increases inflation

Yes, but right now we are facing deflation. The rates are too high.

unemployment at all time lows

This is straight up wrong lmao. >4% is when you should start worrying about unemployment. Unemployment has also been kept low by Biden hiring public workers en mass. People are scared shitless of losing their jobs because nobody is hiring.

How do we recover from the mental illness of politics being this severe and this common in a population? Is it even possible?

Unironically the internet needs to be heavily regulated or outright destroyed but good luck taking away the most potent addiction mankind has ever faced from the entire population. We are completely fucked and people are only getting more schizo now that AI is being rolled out for normies who were already mentally susceptible to crap on the internet.

Do people unironically want the US to be like turkey? I thought we were only pretending we were retarded.

wants to destroy the country to own trump

U'RE THE TRAITOR

He's unironically based for making the orange kike's clitty leak so hard.

How do we recover from the mental illness of politics being this severe and this common in a population? Is it even possible?

Decentralization of power. You can't just can't fix this, direct democracy on large scales isn't stable. We would need to somehow unelect maga republicans, even though they are actively setting the stage for rigging future elections, and then have heavy constitutional reform to eliminate the presidency and vastly decentralize power.

Orange man doesn't like him therefore he's bad, that's it. Gotta keep in mind, the Trump people donate most of their available time to propagandizing for dear leader, but they'll pretend all they care about is saving a buck on taxes. They don't care about the economy or any of the stuff they talk about, they're just crazy

they'll pretend all they care about is saving a buck on taxes

Then they get the highest, most regressive take hike in history with massive tariffs and they reverse decades long held conservative principles to support their dear leader's maga-commie, government planned economy.

direct democracy on large scales isn't stable

deflationary spiral

Lowering rates doesn’t make the tariffed supply less costly in the short or medium term. If there was a guarantee the tariffs would exist for two decades, then I think you would be right: long term lowering rates could drive financing of reshoring projects by private firms and expanded money supply prevents long term severe deflation.

But the odds of long term tariffs seem very low.

If we assume the tariffs are temporary posturing until the effects are felt this Summer, then that will lead to a supply shock, deep recession. We will need rapid stimulus.

But the problem is Trump’s threats to fire Powell, reneging on his own trade deals, and other IR failures makes the US untrustworthy. Powell can’t lower rates under apparent pressure as it erodes trust and could nuke the bond market.

If the US economy severely contracts over the Summer, Trump cancels the tariffs, and Trump shuts up about the Fed, Powell should/will 100% cut rates in the early Fall. But Trump has to shut up about the Fed. I wouldn’t bet on that.

if we had no central banking and the cost of money was market-driven what would you think the average interest rate would be?

my guess is around 4.5% since that's roughly the borrowing rate in defi

The tariffs may cause both deflationary and inflationary risks, but the inflationary risks are much higher. The dollar for the past few decades has benefited from massive international demand which has been a huge deflationary force. The trade war, hostility, irrationality and loss of rule law threaten to completely reverse that and cause a global flight from the dollar which will lead to a massive flow of dollars into the US. Combine that with tariffs that definitionally increase the cost of goods, and reduce supply in both the short term (disruption) and long run (comparative advantage).

but right now we are facing deflation

lol
2% used to be the upper limit for inflation just a few years ago, now it is the bare minimum and going below it is dangerous because we love the cheap money crack

if we had no central banking and the cost of money was market-driven what would you think the average interest rate would be?

This is just economics 101. Its simply a function of inflation and the real interest rate. The fed is basically forced to set the rate around the market rate, too low and it causes inflation, to high and it causes deflation. And they have to adjust because these are self feeding, positive feed back effects. Too low causes inflation which makes the rate even lower. And vice versa. The fed just follows the market to attempt to stabilize the currency UNIT. The real rate of return basically has to follow the market. Too far off an its obvious. If we are debating whether they are right or wrong, they probably aren't too far off.
