T heading to the Fed today. First time in 20 years this has happened.
 

 
Trump needs to issue U.S. Notes like Lincoln did and JFK tried too...one of these guys will survive...
 
Just saw short clip of T and Powell having a chat where T pulled out bogus papers on renovation. Powell called him on it. T looked like a fool. Can't wait to get the whole feed.
 
Powell will rip Trump a new asshole as soon as Powell is out of office May 2026...

Powell will resign or get fired before his term ends mark my words. There will also be a new FED accord where they take orders from the US Treasury.

The FED has not done a good job over the decades. They should get stuck with the debt too.

If that happens they might as well end the Fed, whole point of the Fed was it was supposed to be independent...no chance in hell of that, Ron Paul being appointed first has better chance.
 

The Fed is unlikely to cut rates, but this week’s meeting is packed with intrigue​


  • When the Fed releases its interest rate decision Wednesday, the narrative is almost certain to look a lot like June, with little changed in the statement and officials again holding off on any cuts.
  • However, several fascinating subplots will be in play.
  • Ultimately, though, the committee is likely to stand pat, putting the distractions on the side and the decision over a cut off to September.
Considering nothing is likely to happen when it comes to major policy decisions, this week’s Federal Reserve meeting is packed with intrigue.

When the Federal Open Market Committee releases its interest rate decision Wednesday afternoon, the narrative is almost certain to look a lot like the June meeting, with little changed in the statement and officials again holding off on any cuts.

However, several fascinating subplots will be in play. Consider:

We'd be sooooo much better off with rates at 200%.... well after the giant collapse we'd be better off. Don't need bankers if they charge 200%.
 
Steady as she goes - no change

- 2 dissenters playing T's skin flute
- T snaps, verbally cremates P

- Look at P & T side by side. Check out the hair, faces, skin and stomachs. P looks normal. T not so normal.
 
The FED is not taking into account the interest on the debt. In addition, crypto will absorb excess liquidity instead of moving into many other assets. Powell should get credit for sinking the housing market next.
 
Too fat, too stupid, too crooked Trump doesn't have room to talk...he should get Netanyahu's cock out of his mouth first.
 

Fed Governor Kugler is resigning, giving Trump a nominee on committee that sets interest rates​

Federal Reserve Governor Adriana Kugler announced Friday she is stepping down from her role at the central bank, creating an important vacancy at a time when President Donald Trump is pushing for lower interest rates.

In a letter addressed to Trump, Kugler, 55, did not state a reason for her decision to leave, only noting that she will be returning to Georgetown University as a professor in the fall.

Sounds like she got an offer she couldn't refuse.
 
FED wants to kill growth to tame inflation while Trump wants supply side growth to provide so much that prices fall. I prefer low gas prices due to drilling everywhere.
 
Thing is there are 7 votes and at BEST Trump gets two...Trump knows this. This person resigning was already voting Trump's way.
Raise the rates, crush inflation.
 

Summers Says Fed Cut May Be 'Playing With Fire'​

Aug 1, 2025
Former US Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers talks to "Wall Street Week" host David Westin about the dissents in the Federal Open Market Committee's vote to hold the benchmark federal funds rate in a range of 4.25%-4.5%. Summers says, "I think we are a bit playing with fire."

We need to increase the size of the US economy to $40T in the next 5 years. Trump can do it if the FED gets out of the way.
 
Did you know that 1/3 of all the prices used to calculate that 2.7% inflation number were merely estimates, not the actual prices?

That's what Powell shoulda done 3 and a half years ago instead of having played softball with it due to Joe and the dems having the power.

He let his true colors be known when he tried cutting before the election.

Trump threatens Fed chair Powell with ‘major lawsuit,’ demands interest rate cut​

  • President Donald Trump threatened to allow a “major lawsuit” against Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to go forward.
  • The president said on Truth Social that the lawsuit would relate to Powell’s management of major renovations at the Fed’s headquarters in Washington, D.C.
  • “Jerome ‘Too Late’ Powell must NOW lower the rate,” Trump wrote in the post.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to allow a “major lawsuit” against Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to proceed, escalating his pressure on the central bank leader to cut interest rates.

Trump said in a Truth Social post that the suit would relate to Powell’s management of pricey renovations at the Fed’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., which the president has previously criticized.

Trump did not say when that suit could be filed or by whom.

“Jerome ‘Too Late’ Powell must NOW lower the rate,” Trump wrote in the post.

“Steve ‘Manouychin’ really gave me a ’beauty’ when he pushed this loser,” Trump wrote, referring to his first-term Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin having encouraged him to nominate Powell as Fed chair in 2017.

Then you want what's bad for our nation.


The idea is, save a few 100 B with doge, increase revenue by a few 100 B with tax cuts, add a few 100 B with tariffs, and save a few 100 B with lower interest costs.

Do those things and the gov's books won't look nearly as bad. All they gotta do is get all that stuff to add up close to $2T


Higher interest rates for gov debt just makes it where more stuff will end up cut sooner, then what most people will be comfortable with.
....or new taxes and/or higher taxes that no one but the beggar class will be happy with.
 
No Joe, I want America to pay off its national debt and balance the budget..no more living on credit. If we demand the kiddies pay off their Student Loans, we should lead by example.

Then Congress needs to make $2T in cuts this year.

They won't do that though, so all we can do is try to make ends meet as best as we can.

If Trump can get the things I listed accomplished, the $2T gap will be substantially smaller.

Gotta close the gap before any talk of actually paying down the debt.

Can't be done. Sorry too late, its just math. I don't think it ever really could be done in a debt based system. Unless there is no interest on the debt.
 
At this point I'd rather "Crash and burn" here...stick the proverbial gun to the head and start the fight now.
