The Federal Reserve - Deep State?

"The federal funds rate remained 2.0 percent when the Federal Reserve met on August 1, 2018, and the target rate held at 1.75 to 2.0 percent. The Federal Reserve previously signaled it would raise rates to 2.5 percent in 2018, 3.0 percent in 2019, and 3.5 percent in 2020. The rate is critical in determining the U.S. economic outlook."


Did the Fed stand idly by during the obama regime's long years?

They cut the rate to .25% and kept it low during the Obama recovery. They also put more that 6 trillion dollars into the economy. Now that Trump has a real growing economy they are raising the rates. Funny that.

Of course they are raising rates. They have been kept artificially low since the 08 crash.

They need to be held accountable and abolished. Trillions have gone missing.

The Fed cut interest rates into the teeth of the "housing boom" otherwise known as inflation and created a much worse bubble than was needed. This move does seem extreme though
