Former Treasury secretary says Trump is trying to "scapegoat" Jerome Powell
President Donald Trump has for months tried to pressure Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell to resign from his post if he doesn't cut interest rates.
Bastard.
Release the Epstein Files.
And the former secretary of state said that he's a fucking moron and his former lawyer/fixer says he's endlessly corrupt.
In equally surprising news, Everest is tall and the Mariana Trench is deep.
Yeah, no shit...
No inflation, but cut all trade ties making all goods more expensive and then cut interest rates.
I wonder if it’ll work
Goods (and services) being more expensive IS inflation.
Doesn't matter if prices are inflating for the usual reasons, the thing that cost a dollar last year being $2.50 today is still inflation.
Powell getting replaced by a trump bootlicker is probably the best that could happen.
Sure, in the short term it would massively fuck up the economy, but that would bring trump's downfall all the quicker.
It's a shame about the TACO tariffs too. If they had all gone into effect as the dorito wanted, the economy would be so fucked up right now that you'd have the whole nation, except for the billionaires, out in the street with pitchforks.
It will come, it's just taking longer this way.
Well, it clearly can’t be Trump’s fault, can it?
When is it ever?
No really? Clutches pearls.
Don't like the statistics? Fire the statistician.
Problem solved.
