What would right wing media be saying about the Biden admin if.............

[berg80]

I hadn't thought of that.

Trump is indeed stupid, but I refuse to believe that he's so stupid that he thinks rates can be slashed right now.

I really don't want to believe that.

The magnitude of the cuts he's called for are ludicrous. Yes, he's that stupid.

 

[Mac1958]

Trying to blame tariffs for inflation is bullshit. Prove tariffs cause inflation, never happened.

​

The US is at 4.5% and the EU is at 2%. Trump is right, Powell is wrong.

"The European Central Bank (ECB) has recently held its key interest rate steady at 2% amid economic uncertainty and trade tensions, signaling a potential pause in its cycle of rate cuts. This decision comes as the ECB assesses the impact of tariffs and aims to maintain stability in the eurozone economy."

I no longer discuss economics & market analysis -- my profession for 23+ years -- with Trumpsters. It's depressing.

Pretend you know what you're talking about with someone else. Thanks.

I thought the goal was to fight inflation? Cutting rates does the opposite of that, right?

True. But inflation is coming down, its under 3%. You don't wait for inflation to be at 2% and then start cutting.
The EU is already at 2% while the US is at 4.5%. Powell is too late.

What part of increasing the cost of imported goods leading to inflation don't you understand? It always happens.

No, you and Powell are that stupid. Look where the neutral rate is, and look where the Fed is, dumbass.

The neutral rate for federal funds is estimated to be around 2.5% to 3.5% as of recent evaluations, indicating a level that neither stimulates nor contracts the economy. However, the effective federal funds rate currently sits between 5.25% and 5.5%, which is above this neutral range, suggesting a contractionary stance.

 

[berg80]

But inflation is coming down, its under 3%.

A trend that began under Biden. But signs of inflation rising have begun and will continue to worsen once the full impact of the tariffs work thru the economy. Powell is right to be patient.

trump can't credibly call this the greatest economy ever and then demand interest rate cuts.

So you can't respond to my post? Thanks for playing.

1. GDP says it is the greatest economy ever.

2. Trump can demand rate cuts because...
"The neutral rate for federal funds is estimated to be around 2.5% to 3.5% as of recent evaluations, indicating a level that neither stimulates nor contracts the economy. However, the effective federal funds rate currently sits between 5.25% and 5.5%, which is above this neutral range, suggesting a contractionary stance."

also
"The current European Central Bank (ECB) interest rate is 2.15% for the main refinancing operations, 2.40% for the marginal lending facility, and 2.00% for the deposit facility as of June 11, 2025. These rates are set to influence borrowing costs and economic activity in the euro area"

You shouldn't speak (or copy and paste) about things you don't understand. Though following that advice would mean you can't really comment on anything. Wait.....that's a good thing.

Wow, the ivory tower complex is strong with this one.

In a sign that the labor market may not have been as robust as it seemed earlier this year, job gains from the previous two months were also revised down by a total of 258,000, an unusually high number.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Those job numbers are welcomed by Trump, it shows/proves that the Fed is too late cutting rates.

You're obviously more well versed in economics than Jerome Powell.

Exactly. No point in wasting your time on low human capital. I've pretty much stopped as well. They'll figure it out the hard way.

I'm out of patience. You don't see me pretending to know more about what they do for a living than they do.

Hell, there has to be a HUNDRED ways to clean a Slurpee machine.

I can handle ignorance and I can handle arrogance. Hell, we ALL have our moments.

But arrogant ignorance? No thanks. I'm done trying to communicate with that here.

Blame anyone but Trump!

Except it is Trump's fault.

 

[g5000]

Tariffs don't affect inflation.

They hell they don't!

Tariffs are a tax on importers, which makes the goods we buy cost more.

Do you think it is a coincidence inflation has been rising since April?

The Fed should have cut the rate by now, the neutral rate is 2.75% to 3%.

.
A Fed rate cut would make inflation worse. Econ 101.

[IM2]

Trump just scored another $1.1 TRILLION win for American workers in the EU deal. Pretty sure tariffs are crushing it for America!

Your beautiful TDS theories and talking points are killed by those ugly little FACTS.

Keep typing lies if it makes you feel better.
