"2018 Trump appointee" Jerome Powell has had an impressive streak. Most people working under 45 get their lives ruined way faster.
Good. If Trump gets ahold of the Fed then it could cause a worldwide Depression.
Its... happening anyway
According to who?
Come on, drop the rate, and collapse the US economy with runaway inflation.
Dropping the rate a quarter point isn't going to produce run away inflation.
But climate change drying up the Colorado River and decimating the US West's agricultural industry might.
Correct, but the orange moron probably wants to drop it to zero.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal in December, Trump said within a year he wants interest rates to be “1% and maybe lower than that.”
So you're not far off.
Fuck you too then
The Fed said it will keep its key lending rate between 3.5% to 3.75%, stating that ~~economic activity~~ INFLATION in the US "has been expanding at a solid pace".
Trump is soon expected to announce a ~~replacement for Fed chair Jerome Powell,~~ lackey whom the president has frequently criticised for not ~~reducing interest rates~~ tanking the US economy and status as defacto global reserve currency quickly enough.
I wonder if ICE is going to pay him a visit?
