Yeah things could get ugly in a hurry. Eventually there will be consequences for everyone having to keep up with the Jones’s and have the newest, nicest stuff all the time.
I’m amazed that the high interest rates haven’t discouraged consumers from spending so much on unnecessary luxury items.
I’m afraid that we could enter stagflation pretty soon, which is the worst of all worlds: high inflation paired with a sluggish economy with rising unemployment.

Still 65% above their 2% target. I understand the effects are delayed, but a cut runs a much higher risk of reigniting inflation because of what is signals.

Yes and nothing I said contradicts that. An economic correction is likely coming soon regardless of what the Fed does. Many of these people will be in trouble at that time when they get laid off because they’re overextended and mortgaged to the gills.
If the Fed cuts rates we’ll have the worst of all worlds with people defaulting on loans left and right and inflation still burning hot.

Because the average consumer is a fricking moron with the financial foresight of a 6 year old running a lemonade stand

If only Joe wasn't pushed out...he'd be able to cancel those debts and everyone would be rich and happy.

They always put the ice IN the lemonade and then it melts and makes the lemonade too watery. Makes me furious.

This is all a result of economic policies over the last 40 years. No president can fix this, the system needs to crash.
We have been holding off the crash since 2008 with quantitative easing. All that does is pass the buck and make the eventual crash even worse.
Buckle up.

Feds Considering Rate Cut in September Article
Ugly Job Report
“A 50 basis point Fed cut in September is clearly justified as the labor market is now showing clear signs of softening,” said Yung-Yu Ma, chief investment officer at BMO Wealth Management.

A .25 or even .50 cut in September is not really going to have much of an impact before November.
