No. They are propping up deficit spending to facilitate vote buying at the expense of just about everyone.
If they didn’t do this then yes, investments would tank, but so would employment. We do not want to go there. The way out is through a painful period of fiscal austerity. But no one will agree to do it.

Glad all those fraudsters not only get to frick us but our children and grandchildren.
So you’re going to pretend we’re not part of the scam? “We” have voted for this - one deficit spender after another, Republican and Democrat - all the while knowing it was the easy way in the short term.
ETA: Everyone who has come on here and knighted for Biden or Trump, Bush or Obama is part of the problem (I’m raising my hand here).

Why would we do this?
The GDP grew 5.4% with a govt shutdown.
Real wage gains are far outpacing inflation.
Jobs:
In 2025 there was nearly a million job adjustment due to previous lies regarding the job market.
Over 2 million illegals, with SS# have been kicked out and their numbers counted in job data.
Yet we still added 584,000 Jobs.
Yet we sream AI and forget simple economics....real wage growth (wage growth less inflation) has been positive every month the past year. This does not happen in a surplus labor market.

A "Fed Governor" is making an announcement???
Nah. The Fed Chair makes major news announcements. Individual Governors have never been used to do that.
I'm going with "Fake News" here.
Agree with Russian, a governor doesn't make an announcement and looking at Bloomberg, this is not being mentioned anywhere.
It looks like bullshite.
Besides that, what market would they be propping up?
ETA: they would never announce something like this after market hours.

I'm going to need a road map on how printing more money in an inflationary period (one in which the Fed has yet to be able to regain control of) will stabilize markets.
It will transfer more money from the peasants to the politicos and elite. Therefore stabilizing Nancy Pelosi’s stock portfolio.

This may be fake news but this doesn’t seem necessary at all. No idea why the government would pull this shite again.

Of course no one will, they don’t even have the stomach to deport illegal prison inmates. It’s over and has been for a while, feelings are more important now

Reports from various sources suggest the potential official start of Quantitative Easing (QE), or "money printing," aimed at stabilizing markets.
I did not vote for this.
Stabilize what markets? What is unstable? Not the stock market, it’s been fine

This is a scheduled speech. This is not an emergency speech.

Sure about that? How else would the Fed deal with multi-trillion dollar deficits in an annual basis?

The roadmap is simple. The federal government doesn't take in enough tax revenue to meet spending
If only there was a way to solve that nasty conundrum.
