I'm spitballing about the bigger picture/operation for the sake of conversation. What I'm suggesting is that the Fed and the central banking system as a whole is being targeted for restructuring/reform/obliteration by this administration. Trump appointed his guy to the Fed and now is "shocked" the Fed is continuing to raise rates despite Trump believing prior to the appointment it wouldn't happen. That's a lie (from Trump). Trump knew exactly what Powell was going to do, and wants him to do it. Everyone's going to need to take a haircut, and it's going to hurt, but Trump's administration wants to direct that outrage to the Fed rather than to the Oval. The silver lining to the plan is more people than ever are aware of the Fed and the shadiness attached to it. Those numbers will grow through the rest of the year and 2019 as Trump and others in the media will continue to point their fingers at the fed for causing problems.

Regarding the first post--your prediction, that is essentially what I predicted back in January based on the tax cuts. It's good to have a semi-independent Fed to have someone to blame a recession on. As I've stated before, cutting taxes near the peak of an expansion is an interesting experiment in this era of weak bargaining power of labor relative to increasingly concentrated industries. If you're not going to raise the minimum wage, then the only way for Trump to help (the majority of) his base is to push the Fed to let the expansion continue when unemployment is already at historical lows--it's the only other way to strengthen workers' wage-bargaining power. I'm not sure I've ever stated this in one place, but the two things I liked about Trump's so-called platform was his view on ME wars, and his views on trade. He may be an ####### of a human being, but I am happy to see him take on the war machine and those who use the argument of "free trade" to push policies that have helped decimate the working class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point changes mean nothing. It’s percent that actually means something. Ten years ago a 5% gain would have been a “measly” 350 points.

Chelsea Clinton passed the new payment rules in consultation with Warren Buffett. It was all in the notes at the Bush funeral.
