Inflation is climbing. Trump might still get the lower rates he’s been demanding from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for months.

Yeah. Just because Trump’s taking a wreaking ball to the economy.

Of course they will. Inflation only hurts working class people. The rich do very well with inflation. I wish people understood this. The “booms and busts” of Capitalism are not anomalies of the system, they are the system. And the “busts” don’t apply to the rich.

Cutting the rate will only INCREASE inflation. In fact it will boost inflation.

A great country has an independent bank regulating system based upon facts, not political pressure. Trump is giving us a shithole country system in which the autocrat dictates rates -- & the economy goes in the tank. He doesn't know how to govern. He proved it last time & is doing so again.

Let it reach the top of Everest. Only then Trump and current irrational desire for fascism will decide to descend. No pressure from wokists or communists: a free, fresh choice from "the best ones, the minority of I AM RIGHT!" (thanks almighty, wise God, you saved us once again )

I shouldn't think so - does he pay out for anything? All those costly dinners at his "home" surely must have netted him and cronies a considerable sum. His own brand of Crypto coins, "watches" etc .... the milking goes on.

Lowering a 1/4 point will do noting for the consumer. Housing will remain frozen, prices will rise in response to any increase in sales activity, offsetting lower rates. Credit card interest rates won’t drop and prices for goods and services will continue to rise. A rate drop placebo.
