U.S. Job Growth Sets Stage for Fed to Raise Interest Rates...Fed reserve plays politics

[ColonelAngus]

The FED NEVER raised rates during Obama's 8 years....yet there was supposedly incredible job growth....ask any snowflake.

Odd that the Federal Funds rate is INCREASED by the FED the SECOND Trump was elected.

That is some funny shit.

This has been predicted for years. And we're approaching the targeted inflation rate. it may not be because of Obama, but Trump got lucky in getting an economy with pent up demand and fairly cheap labor.

That's not true. They raised the Discount Rate in Feb 2010, Dec 2015 and Dec 2016.

I remember Republicans said Obama didn't really have a good economy. It was fake because interest rates were so low. If the Feds raised interest rates, his economy would be bad.

Now you guys are crying that the interest rates are too high?
