I don't think Powell works for biden.
Congratulations 🎈🎉

No but Trump :lol:
I wish I could say the same about you and "but biden" but you're the one who said "Well Jerome is already working for Joey".

What's it like to see conspiracies everywhere?

There is a big difference between a President attempting to influence the Fed and the Fed actually reporting to the President. The latter would be disastrous for the US economy.

I think a 50 point drop was too much as well but 25 was appropriate.
I agree and disagree. 50 bps definitely way too much of a swing. Last 4 Fed did 50 bps cuts
2001 (recession).
2007 (about to hit recession).
March 2020 (Covid).
Sept 2024 (Before an election).
If they aren’t cutting it because of a looming or current recession, then why? The only other logical answer is the election. That’s not tinfoil hat conspiracy.

A 25 bps cut wouldn’t have raised any red flags, and is what most people expected. I would have waited till inflation hit 2% (2.5% Aug). And who knows how long would take to reach 2.0%..And if inflation dipped below 2.0%, that’s even better (as long as you don’t go negative more than briefly).
The Fed is definitely worried about the employment data, hence the larger rate cut. I don't think it's election related at all, they'd do the same thing, probably at the same time, regardless if there was an election or not. There's real concern out there that we don't have all of this licked yet, hence the need to go big on the cut.

There's real concern out there that we don't have all of this licked yet (inflation), hence the need to not go big on the cut, which puts upward pressure on inflation. The other tool would be for govt to restrict spending, and that sure as heck ain’t happening.

Yeah probably. :lol:

If only Trump could make half as much sense as that performative uninspiring campaign speaking.

Btw..translation:

America’s best ideas are tied to the aspirational nature of patriotism. Again…fairly vacuous but not exactly hard to understand.

Is Trump not buying ads here in Cali? The only ads I see on TV or on the Internet are for Harris. I'm sick and tired of those Yahoo! ads that are disguised to look like news stories urging me to donate to the "Harris Victory Fund." That liar is NEVER going to get one red cent of my money....

For the same reason Commiela isn’t buying ads in WV, WY, Bama, etc..

You may as well ask why they aren’t throwing piles of cash into a burning fire pit.:dunce:

When is EndWokeness going to tweet something about
  • attempts by Nebraska Republicans to make last minute changes to how the state's electors are chosen?
  • rfk jr trying to stay on the ballot in NY? Why does the he's no longer a candidate and should be removed from the Michigan ballot not apply to New York?

Republicans are going about this the wrong way.

What they need to do is break up all the state like Nebraska and Maine. Take out electoral votes for the big cities and leave the rest for the rest of the state. Its wrong the way they do it now, so change the rules and play by the rules the left does, when you cant win change things.

I agree lets do this.

The correct way is to have more voters choose you than the alternative rather than gaming the system to do for you what you can't do for yourself..... :ohno:
