Are staunch conservatives ready for major taxes then? That’s the only way to tackle the debt because Congress dgaf about any cuts. They blew off doge because it exposed them. Is there any reason why Congress isn’t constantly auditing everything? Or is that trumps job too?

And talking like that to people in person will get the taste of cock slapped right out of your mouth. Enjoy the safety of the internet.

I meant like close it down once and for all

Any impacts on inflation from the tariffs were always going to be late and over-inflated because OMB. IF Biden had done this (stop laughing, I prefaced with a big "if"), the rhetoric would have been how savvy an idea it was and how it would have minimal (if any) impact on inflation.

JPow is a political beast, but he's also fricked no matter what he does.

Inflation is a function of too much money chasing too few goods. Both Congress and the consumer are still creating assloads of new money by creating assloads of new debt. If Jerry cuts rates, inflation comes back within 3-4 months because of the excess liquidity.

If he leaves rates alone, inflation continues to fall but it stifles business growth while we're likely in a recession already.

The problem isn't rates, it's over-liquidity caused by consumers refusing to alter their lifestyles (by trying to offload inflation onto their credit cards) and Congress completely abandoning any sort of fiscal rationality (much less responsibility).

So you’re in favor of higher taxes then?

Leave it to a progressive to not understand the spending side of the ledger.

The longer term rates are the real problem. Everyone likes to focus on the Fed because the short end is all they really control.

1. I didn't dv you.
B. I understand your reference (now) to the 20 and 30 yr bond.
iii. While you're technically accurate, the fed does impact all bond rates, whether directly or indirectly, with their politicization of monetary policy in conjuction with treasury.
4. And yes, the long term rate is the focal point of Trump's attempt to reposition long term debt this year, to lower that borrowing expense, and Jerome is interfering where he can do the most.
