Sorry you're poor and don’t have access to the WSJ. Here is the quote when asked why he was pushing Powell so hard for lower rates, “You can't pay amortization when he's raising interest rates, OK?”

Yeah, that's why I don't want to subscribe to the WSJ.

Assuming that's what he said, he was referring to business and individual borrowers repaying their debt on an amortization schedule.

When the Fed raises the Fed funds rate, it results in the commercial banks raising their prime lending rates. It has almost no impact on long term government debt rates as seen by the current ten-year bond rate being considerably LOWER than the overnight Fed funds rate.

Are you really that stupid??
