quote:Bingo, but our entire monetary system is sustained by inflation so what we’ll end up with is massive asset inflation. If you know how to allocate you’ll be ok. The “K shaped economy” isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
Further, AI advancements are inherently deflationary, and are employment threats. All reasons to lower rates.

So the rate of inflation is 2.4%. Good or bad, that’s what’s relevant. As always, why are we fixating on whether something was better or worse than people’s guess of what it would be?

The 10 year and 30 year even tapped out in the last few weeks. We’re 100% restrictive at the moment.

Yup. We need a 1% cut

There is a glideslope targeting an endpoint (i.e., 2% inflation/full employment) around which the FOMC is determining rates and monetary policy. If they realize the slope is off, it speaks to the need to reconsider estimated future datapoints.
More simply, if you expect one thing, but see another, it calls for a gameplan adjustment.
In this case, inflation is declining more quickly than expected. That opens the door to considering previously unanticipated rate adustments.

Its disgusting that we all know this yet are powerless to do anything about it.

Worst poster on this board. You bring nothing of value. Have never seen a good comment from you. You still think tariffs are paid with pixie dust.

Who pays the tariff?
You are confused. I don't post on the poli-board; rarely even look at that board. I would guess you do based on this comment.
My comment is an economic based comment, not a political one.

Typical comment from you. Go back to your people. They are on the poli-board.

you sound stupid and petty

Who pays the tariff?
It never 'depends' with Corporate taxes.
Those are absorbed 100% domestically.
Yet Corporate Taxes are NEVER rated by the Fed as "inflationary."
Not once, ever.
Tariffs regarded as "inflationary" is economic nonsense.

You have to understand the poster I was replying to. He is nothing but a parrot speaking kool-aider that doesn't understand much about economics.

But we're not powerless. Rather, we're just idiots that elect other idiots. We elect people to legislate culture instead of legislating a government.

Still too damn high! Accumulated inflation over the last five years is over 20%. We are still above target of 2% and need to go slightly below to try to balance out the inflation the last several years.
This can't be true. Democrats told us inflation was transitory.
Last time we had under 2% inflation we had high unemployment. So people would just complain about that.
