Inflation is up to 3.1%

[Sir Richard Spirit]

yet you trust the orange compulsive liar who's filed for bankruptcy at least 6 times and thinks that the other countries pay the tariffs???

Where did I say I trusted Trump? I said the interest rates have to be cut to save the economy. That’s all I’ve EVER said when it came to interest rates.

Yall the ones running around talking about supply, demand, inflation. It’s the FED who kept saying demand was so strong they couldn’t cut rates, now you and the coli experts want to say there is no demand




Start reading and following news and stop quoting headlines and coli experts.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's normally a raise for most 5 figure earners. That shyt gone now. Like it never happened.

The Fed saying demand is strong makes sense. Americans are still spending and will continue to spend no matter what. Isn’t that what means? Credit will always be accessible right? So inflation worsens if you make getting credit easier which is what an interest rate reduction would do. I’m not even trying to argue i truly don’t get what the goal is. Because it wouldn’t be to get inflation under control

The goal is to stop the interest from overtaking GDP through deficit payments. The interest rates HAVE to be cut.


If you say demand is strong. Cool. The coli has been running around talking about demand isn’t strong. Even have a graph they are posting to prove their point.

Oh nah demand is strong overall. I see why ppl would say otherwise, but on a macro level, demand is strong and will continue to be strong bc America is a hyper consumable society.

But to your point I see what your saying, but cutting rates in my humble opinion (I made an A in macroeconomics in undergrad ) is like putting duct tape on a water main break

I never said it was good a idea, I said it’s the idea.

IMO America is in the process of a major gamble on AI, gasoline, natural gas, and now tarrifs. This gamble will replace the duck tape with a new pipe. Lower interest rates speeds this up.


We just have the wrong person gambling.

I think by the end of this year we will be paying 1 trillion dollars to pay down national debt. While adding 1 trillion in debt every 5 months. If the rates don’t drop or go up, that debt will be added even faster.


America gdp is about 30 trillion a year. We are 35 trillion in debt while adding 1 trillion every 5 months and possibly quicker.


I don’t know how we make that annual payment without a rate cut.



I’m not an expert but that math doesn’t make sense to me without lower interest rates.

I'm really trying to understand this take.

Are you positing that the interest rate has to be cut whenever Congress runs a deficit? Is this part of the fed dual mandate? Personally I figured fixing the gdp-debt ratio was Congress' job

no one in this thread was talking about demand not being strong. What several people here have said is that lowering interest rates would increase demand and transitively increase inflation.

Breh don’t even think to hard. Yall are the experts and I’m just thinking out loud.

I’ll take the fukk out a rate cut. Mortgage rates need to follow too. Ready to get a lower rate on this crib, more money in my pocket

They cut rates and here comes recession

If the job market doesn’t get better, this is cooked. This is what tariffs are getting us and some companies haven’t even forwarded those costs to people yet. PPI will be interesting.

Oh yeah, Trump keeps giving the green light for companies to lay-off workers so they can get off-shore talent while sending ICE to deport/detain others and ushering in martial law locally.

Inflation + shytty job market brings us closer to that stagflation. Then it’s really on. A.I getting better and off-shore work being pushed only gets us closer.

What a great economy! Dude has basically destroyed anything positive we had that Biden left.

The only bright spot is at least we’re nearing the end of year 1. It’s about to be election cycle for the midterms. The worry is some people think everything is going stellar right now.

This basically means things have got more expensive for companies to make their products.
