re: -0.3% 1st Quarter GDP

Nope. GDP dropped 2x expectations (.3 expected, -.3 actual) but PCE is holding at 0. Cutting a full point right now would drive inflation up, creating stagflation as job cuts increase. Inflation has to start moving downward by at least .3-.4 per month before JPow can drop rates without reigniting inflation.
There is a slew of really bad economic data out there that may force Powell’s hand sooner than he would like.
I think theGDP report and jobs report of only 62k jobs are telling because they really do not account for the majority of Trump’s tariffs. They are just the economy’s reaction to the uncertainty. Second quarter numbers should be really bad as well.

Recession has been imminent for the past 5 years. You cant have massive shutdown, followed by 4 years of printing money, and not have repercussions for it.

I’d rather go into a recession than the Fed cut the rates and release a bunch of liquidity that causes more inflation.
This talking point is dumb since they cut 1bps inflation has gone down bigly and thats with bullshite #s
Another 1bps cut has us at 3.25 not 0

Only 1,361 more days of these predictions, and only 1,055 days until we hear that the next republican presidential candidate is "literally worse than Trump or Hitler"
The propaganda doesn't work on normal folks anymore....

Easy fix, more tariffs.

Yup. He's doing this to hurt trump. He had no problem cutting last year to help his Democrat buddies.
You realize the more Trump whines and complains the less likely it is Powell (who Trump appointed) is to cut rates? Trump just can't help himself he appoints these people then whines and cries when they don't treat him like a King. How many times has this happened over his two terms? Could it possibly be that the problem isn't Powell but Trump himself for continually appointing these people?

Imo it's wonderful news that the GDP only contracted 0.3% after 3 months of "literally Hitler," chicken little tariff screaming, and "a total idiot running off our trade partners"

The surge in imports from retailers stocking up in advance of tariffs knocked it down. These were subtracted from GDP. Actual domestic growth was up.
Look into the numbers before reacting. Next quarter will be fine. If there are few imports GDP may be way up.
Of course the media wants this reaction.

Wait until the tariffs kick in. We had to break things in order to rebuild them.

Keep in mind that the contracting GDP is only a rule of thumb; it’s not what actually defines a recession. Not to mention that out of control government spending is going to be reined in (hopefully), which could certainly shrink GDP if not offset with growth from consumer spending, business investment and net exports (not likely at this point).
There will have to be short term pain to get through this adjustment. Anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves.
It’s not popular to be the one who says we have to cut back. No one likes hearing from their doc that they need to cut back and lose 25lbs. This is what it’s going to take for the U.S. to avoid the fiscal equivalent of diabetes.
