Fed Posts Largest-Ever Annual Operating Loss.....$114.3 billion last year!

he Federal Reserve ran an operating loss of $114.3 billion last year, its largest ever, a consequence of its campaign to aggressively support the economy in 2020 and 2021, then jacking up interest rates to combat high inflation.

The losses added to already large federal deficits that have required bigger auctions of Treasury debt. The central bank’s losses could continue for as long as short-term interest rates remain near current levels. That has the potential to fuel new political attacks on the Fed, though there have been no signs of that so far.

The U.S. central bank announced preliminary, unaudited results of its 2023 financial statements on Friday.

Of course it was announced on a Friday.

LOL....I find that hard to believe.......The entity that makes money out of thin air lost money?

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles would call this a problem. “Deferred Assets”. Well past time to Audit the Fed.

Waiting to hear from the resident "experts" how this is of no concern.

Biden just cancelled more student debt as he ignores the USSC decision that he went beyond his authority to do so.

The Dems / Socialists are child-like in their inability to understand responsibility.
 
It is t be expected in the current circumstances. It will be back in the red presently.

THis happens during recovery periods.

You’re just unable to understand some pretty simple dynamics of debt and interest payments on debt when Dems / Socialists refuse to stop adding more debt.
 
Almost every boom and bust we've experienced since its inception can be directly traced to actions by the Fed. Those people don't know what the hell they are doing.
 
Well according to the dems there is nothing to recover from.....Bidenomics is lifting all boats.....What a bunch of rubes. :laughing0301:
There isn't. The fed isn't a for profit institution. If they had money left over after operating costs it does directly to the government, essentially a 100% income tax.

This is normal, stop freaking out.
 
recovery periods? Lol! Translation: GOVT causing man-made crisis to regain power whenever the people have installed a sensible President rather than deep state puppet.
You guys all need to invest in better translators.

They create money by buying bonds. Bonds go down when interest rates go up.
 
What about the booms and busts before the Fed?

There were very few of them and mostly caused due to war. The economy was far more stable and the value of the dollar barely changed at all. Since the creation of the Federal Reserve the dollar has lost over 90% of the purchasing power it had in 1913.

They happened much more frequently and they were larger.

Can you post your evidence?
 
Totally predictable.

The country is not in any “recovery period”, whatever that is. We’re in a period of out of control Dem / Socialist debt burden as a function of deficit spending.
Have you been under a rock?

Covid?

Recession?

Inflation?

Ring any bells here?

More of your pointless cut and paste cartoons.

Bidenflation at more than 17%.

Dem / Socialist deficit spending?

$34 trillion deficit?

Ever awake from your coma?
Inflation, even at the most pessimistic take, is under 4%. Core inflation is under 3.

Your orange idol spent more than any Democrat ever did.

And like most undereducated republican types you seem to be unable to distinguish between the debt and the deficit.

You are irrelevant.

Biden is spending more than Trump.
He's about to add more to the debt than Trump.

Those are not facts. dOnald tRump is responsible for about 25% of our $34 trillion in debt. Joe Biden hasn't even come close.

If you think Biden is spending less, you should be able to post evidence.

Creepy Joe is about to add more than Trump. His deficit was over $2 trillion last year.

He is. The deficit was down for his first two years. It has gone up this year, though not as much as it feel the previous two, and is expected to fall for the next several years.

They are indeed facts.

And yet, still spending more, still on course to add more to the debt.
