The Fed should give up with the lies and obfuscation that it does and just admit it is one of the engines of inflation. In fact, it is the only engine of inflation at this point because it is the only organization that can “print” money with their digital press. The reason they do this is because this is the only way to take money from the vast majority of people to give it to THEMSELVES. Thieves gotta steal.
The next few months are going to be fascinating.
I don’t think fascinating would be the proper description for what is gong to be happening. Horrifying, pauperizing, despairing, or words along those lines would fit better. If Trump does not either get rid of the deficit or the Fed we will be in for hard times. I think he should let the big banks go down in flames for what they have been doing. I think Mises and Rothbard are totally right when they say the bust is the healing part of the business cycle.
How about "morbidly fascinating"?
Since Trump definitely isn't doing those things, we're going to see the trainwreck.
Yes, morbidly fascinating is a much better way to describe it. I think that Trump will not do any ot those things that would straighten out the banking system because he is too embedded into that system through his real estate and construction businesses. Let’s face it, a spade is a spade. He might go for bankruptcy, although past history is no indication of future action. :)
I hadn't even considered that Trump might be the one to go for some sort of debt restructuring and make the US lenders take a haircut. That's an interesting line of thinking.
He has done it before on his various enterprises, so why wouldn’t he do it with this uSA Inc. organization. After all, it is only another corporation that has gone bankrupt at least three times already. Why shouldn’t he do it again? @Lux might have something to add to the government bankruptcy problem.
Amen! Spread the word!
It has been spread and it has been heard by those with the ears to hear. There are an awful lot of people out there without the ears to hear, though. They will never hear and never understand because they have swallowed too much of the Kool Aid. It has killed their minds and reasoning facilities and turned them into NPCs.
Back to econ again?
I like when you use this territory more than sports lol
"This contradicts months of claims from Jerome Powell and other Federal Reserve mouthpieces who have insisted that price inflation was rapidly returning to the Fed’s two-percent price inflation goal. This was key for the Fed’s attempts to justify the FOMC’s jumbo 50-basis-point cut to the federal funds rate in September."
Do you really think the mouthpiece has anything important to say?
They will never be able to justify the inflation, because they are just finding ways to keep inflating.
Everything they say is just to pull the wool over your eyes.
You sort of answered your own question, with that last sentence.
The purpose of their statements is to manipulate the markets. Past Fed Chairs have stated this pretty unambiguously.
What I find interesting is that they're realizing that the cat is out of the bag and getting all the way to the semi-official inflation target of 2% just isn't going to happen.
But you would think that they would try to keep tricking the public.
Is the long game coming to an end now that bitcoin is on the scene?
They aren't taking bitcoin seriously yet. This is all about the unaffordability of servicing the debt at the interest rates that would exist in a low inflation environment.
Inflation is crazy and I find it surprising to know that there are people who still believe in these figures when inflation is seen everywhere, they have nothing to say but to press the print button.
They just keep pumping it up like we have endless cash
Who would have thought. Fasten your seatbelt, grab your popcorn, the upcoming months will be fun!
