*Trump's economy* seems to be destroying itself perfectly well by itself, much like the majority of things he's touched over the years.

Your fevered conspiratorial ranting is noted and chuckled at.

You are uninformed. The Feds have raised the interest rates four times under President Trump.

I know.

Did you have a point or is this just meant as more examples of the fed picking on poor Donald?

[Peter1469]

If there are really signs of a recession coming, then the Fed should be holding off on interest rate hikes.

[MisterVeritis]

I know.

The Fed knows a great economy is very good for Republicans and President Trump. The Fed doesn't mind damaging the people and the nation to get rid of President Trump.

[Tahuyaman]

*Trump's economy* seems to be destroying itself perfectly well by itself....

Is there a basis for that conclusion?

I agree with you about the Fed, we'd be better off without them. They are a government lap dog bank that has helped keep interest artificially low for way too long. They made the "housing bubble" ( called out of control inflation in most industries) crash much harder than it had to . They fueled it despite knowing what the results would be in order to produce good short term numbers

The Fed didn't have anything to do with the housing bubble.

It seems you agree for many wrong reasons.

So let me get this straight. Your position is that slashinging interest rates for no good reason had nothing to do with out of control real estate market? You sure that's what you want to go with?

It seems to me you do. The fed should not be artifically controlling interest rates. Do you disagree with that?

[MisterVeritis]

I do agree. I have no idea what artificially means.

[MisterVeritis]

The Fed has destroyed more American wealth than Al Qaeda.

[Admiral Ackbar]

I know.

The Fed is picking on us. Pres Trump is our dully elected President.

God Bless America and God Bless Donald Trump

[ripmeister]

It's all part of the grand conspiracy.

[Peter1469]

Interest rates were slashed for reason. And that occurred after the housing market collapsed. Any followup questions?

[Tahuyaman]

I don't believe that the fed is raising rates to make the Trump administration look bad. That's kook stuff.

[Tahuyaman]

The Fed didn't have anything to do with the housing bubble.

You are absolutely correct, no question about it.

The fed played no role in the so called mortgage crisis.

What was your name the last time you were here. You're a troll.

[Captdon]

I know.

You don't know the difference between .25% and 2.25% interest rates?

Yes, you'll be old and eating alpo.


They are hurting everyone who borrows. That's homes, furniture, cars, etc. You TDS has spread to your entire brain and you now favor hurting everyone because you're ill.

[Captdon]

Is there a basis for that conclusion?

Alexa said so.

[donttread]

I do agree. I have no idea what artificially means.

Meaning not letting the all powerful "market" set the rates . You don't cut interest rates at a time of what might be called hyper inflation .
The market would of raised rates and eased the crash

Unfortunately, the market does not appear to have a role. It has been gobbled up by the government.

Sometimes you make me laugh.

[MisterVeritis]

You have stumbled over the truth.

[MisterVeritis]

Yes. They are. Not to see it is naivety.

[Tahuyaman]

Yes. They are. Not to see it is naivety.
No, they're not.

[MisterVeritis]

No, they're not.
Watch and learn.

[Tahuyaman]

Watch and learn.
The fed is not trying to sabotage the economy to spite Trump.

Of which the fed is an extension.

[The Xl]

The fed screwing around is nothing new. They have unchecked power of our monetary supply, they're more powerful than the branches of government. What's more is that they completely unelected.

[MisterVeritis]

The fed is not trying to sabotage the economy to spite Trump.
Yes. They are.

[MisterVeritis]

Yes. I was including the Fed as a part of the government.

[Captain Obvious]

Rates were expected to increase well before Trump took office.

Calm down Sally's, there's no conspiracy here.

[Peter1469]

Devil's counsel: if the fed sees signs of a recession, raising interest rates is counter-productive.

Of course, there is. During Barack's reign, the rates were held close to zero for his eight years. So far the FED has raised rates four times and has announced they intend to raise rates two more times in the next two quarters.

It is intentional. It is also uncalled for.

I don't disagree, I've been on record saying whatever "gains" were had during Bammy's run were smoke and mirrors, that forcing rates down propped up other things.

You should know that too.

And if Bammy was able to manipulate rates, why is Trump then allowing rates to increase?

Try to answer that if you can.

The FED members are Progressives, establishment, and they hate having an outsider as the President. They can harm the economy for the next two years to defeat President Trump. And they will.

[Dr. Who]

Or it may have nothing to do with any President since the Fed is connected to the world bank and they have their own agenda. Stock prices are high now and it's time for the international vampires to feed. It's time for a recession and a drop in stock price which will allow the vampires to buy up stock at cheap prices after which interest rates will fall, business will recover and the vampires will reap the profits when stock prices recover. This whole business about the gulf between the progressives and the conservatives is cultivated to keep you distracted from what and who is really running everything. America is the key to the whole global banking regime. Who else has given up control of their monetary system to multinational banking?
