What is this absolute retard doing?
Dollar's exchange rate is getting killed due to trump chaos. Fed can't cut or it would collapse. Plus economy is fucked because of government fucking in trade and investment, lower rates aren't going to help. Its just a straight up shitty business environment.
Us government is basically fucked.
If they lower the rates inflation will go through the roof again and it will literally destroy the economy.
If they keep rates the same we will have stagflation, inflation and a recession with almost zero real growth.
If they raise rated they will fuck up the economy even more.
I don't give a shit though, we need a proper economic depression to get rid of useless f*male/tranny makework DEI HR jobs. US isn't producing anything worth buying. Funny thing is everyone blames Trump but this was in the making since 2021/2022, anyone who nootices patterns and economic cycles will know this. When governments kick the can down the road they just make it worse when it inevitably comes.
The ONLY reason why we didn't see a recession in 2022, 2023 and 2024 (although there was technically one in 2022) was excess government spending and stimulus. Literally fake money that's now debt and has to be paid off. If US gov risks and issues more debt they will spiral out of control and everyone will stop using USD and they will move to CHF, EUR, GBP and other currencies. EU has debt limits at least and they can't easily print insane amounts of money due to massive regulations. That's why there was little to no inflation in most EU countries.
I low key think he's an idiot for not raising rates. 100 BPS minimum every meeting until we get to 10-11%.
Literally fake money that's now debt and has to be paid off.
Nothing has to be paid off. They can print more and inflate it away
This is all Bidens fault btw
What's the matter miggers can't refinance their mortgage boxes in their le based suburbs?
they need to issue bonds and sell them to someone to issue more currency
bond rates spike
they now owe money with even bigger interest payments (currently bigger than the US military yearly budget)
next year reach the debt limit again
need to print more currency
increase bond rates even more
no buyers
China, Japan etc. sell their bonds causing even higher bond rates
US needs to borrow money at insane interest
they can't afford to pay just the interest
US goes bankrupt
everyone abandons USD
It's the most likely scenario, US gov is a bunch of boomers that can literally only print money. That's literally the only thing they can do. Imagine how desperate the situation is when FED itself started buying US government bonds lol.
Jobless claims are still low and unemployment is still below 4.5% so the labor market isn't really fucked yet.
They only cut rates when they know there's gonna be a huge nosedive like the dotcom crash or subprime lending fiasco
nooooo I need cheap loans to buy more fartcoins and tsla/pltr/nvda stock!!!
there is enough money already, you don't deserve it because you won't do anything with it, no new money should be printed until fartcoin goes to 0
Not my problem. Pay me, collapse, either one works. It’s God’s will
Powell cant lower rates until china confirms trade negotiations. This is very very likely in june and everyone should be prepared
jobless claims
This is a scam of a statistic because they don't consider people who are unemployed for 6+ months as jobless and they consider part time workers fully employed. If someone works 3 side gigs they equal that to 3 jobs. If McD is claiming that mutts aren't eating out it's enough of a recession signal to me.

He needs to cut rates BEFORE the labor market is FUCKED you retard. His September kneejerk 50 bepis cut was WOMANLY behavior and confirms that Jerome T Powell is a PUSSY who probably buys throw pillows at TARGET. This jabronie needs to find his cock and balls and at least give us a 25 bepis cut next FOMC or he needs to turn in his man card because he probably has a VAGINA.
wait and see
Everywhere you look is deflation in the real economy. We’re still under covid lockdown in terms of economic activity and businesses shutting down. Not a good time to be expanding. The fed has total control over the economy right now and nothing will move until say so. No vacations, no expensive dinners, no travel, no new clothes, no new cars or jewelry. You will stay inside and only spend on the bare minimal until further notice
Sounds like a great time to make everything cost 2x more with a tax
really would love some examples of deflation. Everything in the economy except gas is more expensive. Fast food up, electronics up, raw materials up, S&P flat. Housing costs are almost double from 7 years ago in some markets.
DEFLATION IS HECKIN BAD BECAUSE BILLIONAIRES AND BANKERS SAY SO!!! IT'S GIGA ANTISEMITIC!!!
Inflation is due to money printing by central banks, not from implementing tariffs and not from anything else. Tariffs are deflationary due to demand destruction. You’re measuring prices from 7 years ago on individual items. I agree that prices are at least 25% higher across the board minimum but that’s not how (((they))) measure inflation
When governments kick the can down the road they just make it worse when it inevitably comes
They will never stop kicking the can down the road, its not safe to bet against it.
Tariffs are deflationary due to demand destruction.
my fucking sides
Yeah if we make it so that things cost more because it costs more to bring them here it doesn't actually inflate the price of things
probably in deflation
Lol. Lmfao perhaps.
That’s not inflation. Thats a price hike. Inflation = money printing. Never forget that
They can print more and inflate it away
Not with tariffs.
Tariffs actually literally oppose that.
Recessions are common in a 7-10 yr period usually. Economy is propped up by more debt. Sooner or later the government runs out of money to repay the debt and they can't refinance because of high interest rates. Recessions are unironically a sign of a healthy economy.

In economics, inflation is an increase in the average price of goods and services in terms of money
I don’t care what some jewish Keynesian professor told you, money printing = inflation, nothing more, nothing less
You sound like you took the short bus to school.
You agree that there is inflation currently, and you agree that money printing or lowering interest rates would encourage more inflation. yet you are calling it deflation and want him to lower rates. top kek.
Tariff implentation are barely affecting the real economy yet. Tariffs INCREASE prices of goods, not the other way around.
Price hike increases the prices by definition increases inflation you moron.
Inflation is still running hot, only thing that kept CPI report low was decrease energy costs, due to opec dumping oil.
Ok anon money printing is inflation because it lessens the individual value of a dollar, right?
Well, let's say it costs $500 to repair my car's engine before tariffs started. But wait! The parts they need for my engine come from China and/or Mexico, and to make up for the tariffs they have jacked up the price to twice what each individual part used to be! Now to repair my car's engine, it will cost $1000. My individual dollar is now worth half of what it could buy before tariffs.
price of selling something went up
but this definitely does not affect the price of buying it, that's literally impossible
are you fucking retarded?
You just went through a whole load of mental gymnastics when its just money printing = more money = inflation
Inflation is when more money
The US is fucked and trump knows it. The jews are trying their hardest to drag trump into a war and, besides a couple skirmishes, it (so far) isn’t working. The moment we get involved in another war, you can consider the US as good as done
Jobs statistics are scammy. And anyway unemployment is a consequence of low demand, itself a consequence of high inflation, itself a consequence of debt spending.
So the only stat that really matters is government deficit. And that is really grim.
He's right. Stop being a smartass tryhard.
More money can certainly CAUSE inflation, but higher prices literally are, by definition, inflation. Prices going up from tariffs is, by definition, inflation.
Everybody is assuming no tax or monopoly bullshit here.
Inflation measures how much more expensive a set of goods and services has become over a certain period
money printing + productivity growth = more goods at same or lower prices
money printing + nothing else = same amount of goods at INFLATED prices
