Trump’s company could save millions if interest rates fall like he wants

The Post notes that just a quarter-point reduction, which many investors now predict will occur in mid-September, could save Trump as much as $275,000 annually on just his Doral loan.

Bloomberg News reported that every quarter-point reduction could save Trump $850,000 annually, which would create more than $3 million in annual savings if the Fed dropped rates a full percentage point as Trump has demanded.

The Fed cut short-term rates by a quarter of a percentage point in July, the first such action in more than a decade.

The country could save billions if the interest rate falls lik he wants it?

Your 401k will be of less value. Oh wait......if it's market based it already is.

Oh wait.

Most people invest more than 6 months before they retire.

Lower interest rates take years to recoup. Plus, the tens of millions that were wiped out during the last Republican White House.

So how many years will it take to recoup Obama’s overlong low interest rates?

You are glossing over what happened in 2007-2008.

Cool, I hope the FED raises the rate by twice the cut trump wants. The greedy fat guy deserves it.

No shit really? Lol a president who is a business man should fail? Won’t many businesses hire more people?

Should we hire a business man to do your open heart surgery? You premise contains one big fallacy, that government can be run like a business.

Yep, we should hire (vote) for a politician that has no experience at anything except being a politician...dumbass.

Governance is a profession like any other. But oddly it is the only one in which you want to base your choice on no qualifications. Would you hire a doctor, lawyer, home builder like that?

Why Government Should Not Be Run Like A Business

But while we might all grant that there are exceptions, the general question still stands: does it make sense to run government like a business? The short answer is no. Bear in mind, first, that “efficiency” in the private sector means profit. Hence, to ask that the government be run like a business is tantamount to asking that the government turn a profit. The problem in a nutshell, is that not everything that is profitable is of social value and not everything of social value is profitable. Reality TV, pornography, fashion, sports, and gambling are all of questionable social value, but each is quite profitable and exists in the private sector. Meanwhile, few would argue that the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, police department, fire department, libraries, parks, and public schools are of no social value, and yet they could not exist if they were required to be profitable. Imagine maintaining a standing military by selling subscriptions door-to-door: “Hello, my name is Captain Johnson, and I represent the US Army. Are you afraid of foreigners? Would you like guaranteed protection against invasion, pillaging, enslavement, and more? Please see our brochure for our three levels of service.” There would, of course, be a few subscribers, but nothing approaching the level necessary to truly protect the United States from attack.

To reiterate, the key issue is this: not everything that is profitable is of social value and not everything of social value is profitable. The proper role of government is the latter. Those arguing for a business model for government must necessarily be ready to shut down all government functions that do not earn a profit, regardless of their contribution to our well being. And, if the public sector is being run properly, that should mean every single one. If it’s profitable, they shouldn’t have been doing it in the first place. There is no need for the government to start a chain of hamburger stands, hardware stores, or coffee shops. Rather, they run child protective services, the National Park Service, and the Air Force. Profit is the realm of business, while unprofitable but socially useful tasks is the responsibility of government.​

well at this point i'd argue he's not really running it like a business and spending money like his democrat roots would do.

so far i'm hit and miss on his monetary policies. some have worked, some are not. while i do think he has a point w/china, the way he's doing it is coming off vindictive, not productive. it's not helping his cause.

I am in agreement that China’s trade policies need to be dealt with, but don’t agree with the tactics and the US go it alone approach. It may end in a scorched earth policy.

Dealing with China would probably be best with allies, not too sure if any of them have the cojones though.

Trump donates his Presidential salary of $400K to charity and in his news conference today said the Presidency has cost him between $3-5B. Believing a couple of million a year means anything to him is bizarre.

 

[WillPower]

Wow, Dec. 16, 2008 the Fed rate was .25%, which is effectively zero. Lowest fed fund rates possible. Between 2008 and 2015, the Fed kept the rate at zero.

July 2019 they were 2.25% and you want to piss and moan because you feel they're too low?

Barry was playing with funny money and still managed to add $10T in debt....The result was the Fortune 500 companies were the only ones able to borrow and they did so to crush and acquire smaller companies while buying and selling each other's stocks. Look at who Wall Street contributes to since then....the commiecrats... who talk a good game about taxing the rich but never seem to do it since there are so many loopholes in their legislation.

 

[Faun]

i don't get it.

so is trump supposed to make rules that hurt his businesses and hope no one else gets hurt?
is he supposed to sell all his businesses and see where he is when his term(s) is/are over?

this, to me, is intentionally distorting something so you can say BAD TRUMP. if we heard the ONLY reason he was doing this was for his own businesses then yes, my ears would perk up. but if he's doing something business friendly for ALL and then yes his businesses benefit also, i just don't care.

It's bad for the country to lower the federal fund rate during a strong economy. Doing so eliminates a tool used to help pull us out of a recession when one comes.

Fail.

It drives the economy.

lower interest rates for

mortgages (we want all the poor people to afford homes, right?)

cars ( we want everyone to be to afford a new car, right)

etc, etc, etc

c'mon Faun you're smarter than this

He once was but like so many bitter numbskulls, what smarts he once had have been replaced by TDS rage and stupidity.

He can't see the good in anything he can twist to spew mindless hatred for the POTUS.

America's lefties are traitors ... every one of 'em.

Liberal Media Scream: Bill Maher cheers economic collapse if it dooms Trump
“I’ve been hoping for a recession — people hate me for it — but it would get rid of Trump, so you shouldn’t hate me for it.”
To which, Barro noted: “Recessions are really bad. People lose their jobs and their homes.”
Maher doubled down: “I know. It’s worth it.”

Sadly, comprehending this is above your pay grade. But most others will understand it....

The downside to low interest rates

So how does that work. Cheaper interest rates mean more borrowing to help the business and make more profit which leads to higher stock values. I guess the run up in the stock market since trump has been elected hasn’t helped everyone who is invested in the stock market? The people that really get hurt with low interest rates are savers.

... and what does the Fed do when a recession comes and the federal Fund rate is already at rock bottom?

I've never seen a president rail the Fed to lower interest rates in a booming economy.

To keep American exporters competitive and foreign investors eager to come here while China and europe devalue their currency.....The rate is nowhere near "rock bottom". A 75 bp cut drops the cost of borrowing enough for the rest of the world not to look elsewhere for their import needs. We could be growing at 4% if that jackass at the Fed would wake up.

 

[Natural Citizen]

I got $5 says the Fed hikes interest.

Yeah but the five bucks is really only worth twenty cents. Ha. Thank the Fed for that.

Cool, I hope the FED raises the rate by twice the cut trump wants. The greedy fat guy deserves it.

Just like an emotionally-manipulayed, hate-driven snowflake - 'Let's f* over every US citizen if need be just to try to hurt the President.'

What a dumbass snowflake.

Some of us have liquid assets and will earn more interest if the FED raises the rate; trump's a greedy a-hole and is using his office to benefit himself no matter who is harmed.

Easy65 has no right to call anyone a dumbass, he's proved to be a biddable fool and that's the naked truth.

So, again, you say ''F* as many Americans as possible - especially since ''I' am good - just to hurt the president'...

And you call the President the selfish greedy asshole...

Bwuhahahaha

And if he railed for higher rates you'd whine about that. If he solved all the world's probs today you'd be here tomorrow to whine about that. You have abandoned rational thought - and I remember when you employed some - to serve your abiding hatred for the POTUS. Very sad.

 

[WillPower]

There doesn't have to be a recession if the economy is on solid ground....Business cycles come and go but as long as the fundamentals are sound, and both parties want what's best for the country (fat chance of that with you Rats), the Fed doesn't need to do anything but keep competitive interest rates. The concept it needs to keep a basement-rate for emergencies is yesterday's news after the Obama years....we're so far in debt now, a bad cycle will lead to default and the collapse of the world economic system...yes, that's how bad off he left us.

Who do you think you are fooling. Nothing this POTUS ever does will satisfy one such as you, Princess.

• A nicely and sustainably expanding economy (which has raised all ships) with low inflation.
• Historically low unemployment (especially amongst our minorities) with rising wages and disposable income.
• A strong dollar and investment markets.
• A righting of what had been a listing (left) USSC.
• Repeated exposure of our self-serving swamp and the nefarious players within it, including but not limited to our MSM/DNC and high-ranking mutts at both our DOJ & FBI.
• Job Growth Underscores Economy’s Vigor; Unemployment at Half-Century Low

No wonder you bitter, anti-American leftards are so hysterical. What is good for America seems bad for you. I suppose it is.

Thank you Mr Prez and MAGA, baby!!

Now explain how voting for useless politicians with no business experience can run an economy better........Um......derp.....derp.

Explain how a man with multiple and large bankruptcies should run the economy derp.

Lol so people shouldn’t take risks?? Dumb ass.. we would have no private jobs

Here's a great discussion on the topic.

It's 18 minutes. Consider yourself aware of what's going on, what has gone on as well as the natural cycle ahead if you have the time to spare. There's some hard truths there toward the end. Is what it is, though. The inevitable is sometimes for the greater good.
