Could there be an election year coming? Anyone who shops for groceries does not believe the propaganda media when it says that the economy is doing great.

The UPS driver for my neighborhood said it was the slowest he’s ever been for Christmas season.

They know that if rates go up a bunch of businesses tip over.
Yet they won’t stop printing money, won’t stop spending money that doesn’t exist, and won’t stop wasteful policies that increase unfunded liabilities.

We’ll have to tackle inflation. Vote out the Democrats. That worked for us back in ‘80.

Why prolong te pain? They should have been more aggressive cutting rates to fight inflation. To beat inflation you need to take your medicine m

I don’t know what this CWR place/thing other than click bait.
Fed is composed of knuckleheads. Yep. We know that.
Big banks have an agenda. Yep. We are not in the club.
Economy is a fluster-cluck. Yep. See above.
Maybe CWR just enjoys repeating the obvious?

Two things

1)The fed is “astoundingly wrong” forecasting rates > 3 months out.

2)4Q before an election year is usually the most juiced quarter in the election run up. The current quarter with the market setting all time highs is a classic example.

Hysterical nonsense. If the outlook were so grim the Fed would act now.

From the story ... "Powell’s abrupt change of heart, advocating for cuts despite prior dismissals, prompts an unsettling question: What prompted this shift?"

Could it be that there is an election next year! Humm!
