Fed will overshoot rate increases

[Casey Jones]

Hell, stores are already raising prices knowing they can blame the tariffs, just like gas stations raising prices BEFORE the storm hits...

Operation Mockingbird continues apace - even though the money-stream has been interrupted.

They hope, temporarily.

I've got a lot more faith in this tariff scheme, than I do in the American public's ability to resist this ramping-up of nonstop propaganda and untruths. We ALREADY SAW how they fell for COE-vidd and Safe-And-Effective. Have they learned anything, or are they stupified by the neurotoxins given them as purported vaccines?

DO we even HAVE any kind of future, with such weak-minded, sated, spoiled, feckless a population?

Saying this might be regularly scheduled. May/has still cause a bounce.



Bonds are DOWN today. Take this as a REALLY BAD sign.

^^^^^^^

Inflation is ESSENTIAL. Only inflation can keep the stawk market bubbling UP; and only runaway inflation can destroy Trump/DOGE/reform.

So, bring on another gusher of Free Money!

I think they are allowing the country to go into recession as part of the normal business cycle. It allows bad models to fail and re-emerge as stronger entities without the need of being propped up artificially.

Trump is so full of crap, I hope Powell bumps the rate a whole point to remind him who is in charge and who is the monkey in the cheap suit...

The Federal Reserve is a deep state tool in many regards. One of these is to inflict pain on the economy to deliver talking points to the MSM so that political opponents can be blamed for negative economic news.

Liz always has a unique take on things. ...

If by "unique", you mean self-serving, then yes, I concur.

 

[Fatrat]

This a "Nothing" sandwich, Trump can't fire him, he can only not reappoint him, in which case the banker boys will just nominate someone else who may or may not do what Trump wants...even Warren knows that so she is just chop busting.

 

[Casey Jones]

The markets will not crash. They'll melt up.

Installing a tool who takes us back to ZIRP, means the stawk-buyback program/scam at major corporations, is back in high gear. All the banksters are gonna want some of that Melt-Up money. We're back to a world they understand - ZIRP to member banks, plow into the Dow/S&P/other indices, and sell a few days later, showing gains for the Banks' proprietary accounts.

It's always been this way - the whole 15 years these "career stock account managers" have been in their careers; so of course it will always be this way. Great Depression? Wiemar? Argentina? That's silly. THIS time it's DIFFERENT.

If Trump does this, he's gonna be crucified - literally removed, and the Left, left with a Win. He'll be blamed, alone, for the fiscal and monetary collapse. Meantime, no arrests, no prosecutions for all the appropriated government money...no punishment for COE-vidd; no correction on any of this evil insanity.
