No Compost bias here. /s

Two assumptions/lies in the first sentence. Another assumption/lie in the second sentence.

The BS just continues to flow like an overloaded septic tank after that that.

******

Full title: Trump thought Yellen was too short to be Fed chair. That’s not how any of this works.

They make up stories and then express their disgust at the story they just invented. Nobody cares about them anymore.

Besides, Trump should have just conceded to Yeb.

“She’s too short” really means “Go to hell, I don’t feel like sharing my reasons with you”.

Apparently all it takes to be “successful” as the Fed Chair is to set rates at zero and keep them there... forever.

Why do we have a Federal Reserve at all, if this is the case? Why not just set rates by law to zero and eliminate the expensive middleman?

I doubt Donald Trump could be so successful (or even tie his shoes) if he was the deranged nimrod they would have us believe he is. An old woman is “too short”? Let the source of this ridiculous calumny come forward and prove his veracity or else shut up about it.

Anyway, I’m not well versed in monetary policy and I don’t want to channel Ron Paul, I don’t think going back on the gold standard sounds very realistic. But maybe we should be talking about whether or not an un-elected board operating in the shadows should have so much power.

This just in from the Washington comPost: Trump fired James Comey because he thought he was too tall to be FBI director. Unnamed sources reveal that Trump privately remarked that the best FBI directors are between 6’1 and 6’5”, although he would consider a 6’ 1/2” woman for the role.

Janet L. Yellen was the most qualified Federal Reserve chair we’ve ever had and maybe the most successful Federal Reserve chair we’ve ever had.


I’m thinking they want to qualify that statement by the fact that the Fed kept interest rates so low during the previous administration. And, if she were an honest person, she probably didn’t want to, given the fact that she was the most qualified.

She HAD to keep them low. If she had raised them, they would have completely destroyed the previous administration and no one was going to be allowed to do that. And of course, now they’re creeping back up.

Perhaps, someone more knowledgeable on the subject can enlighten me. Are they going back up, because they have to? Are they going back up because the powers that be want to do what they can to harm the President and stall the economy?

On a side note, I wish the President would push for an audit, get rid of them and put the onus on the banks to set their own rates. Nothing like competition to drive the cost of EVERYTHING down. I don’t think credit cards, car loans and mortgages should be any different.

She kept Hussein’s fed funds rate at Zero just like a good ideologue.

The Washington Post is one of the greatest purveyors of fiction of modern times. As if POTUS would reject a qualified individual because of their height. But the lie fits right in with the fictional Trump that they’ve tried to convince the public is the real Trump. You know, the incompetent moron who just happened to win the Republican nomination against 16 career politicians while spending a fraction of what they did. The dufus who beat Hillary despite having to take on the lies of the MSM. The fool who brought China, Canada and Mexico to the table.
