Maybe it's because I lived through the 80's and 90's when 30 year mortgages hit 15%
The average interest rate in the 90’s was less than 8%.

Agree but, real estate prices were appreciably lower during that time period.
Mortgages were still incredibly high.

Typical monthly mortgage payment
2023: $2,270.15
2020: $1,161.32
1981: $771.64
1971: $141.65
Cheap money and Covid stupidity destroyed the market as it currently stands, but even 5 years ago you were better off buying a home than you would have been in 1982.

Some Judge will veto this and ask Congress to raise inflation back up soon.

Exactly what I thought, you can't answer. Just a mindless NPC talking point you have convinced yourself of. Even rents are trending down. So energy and rent are going down. That's a lot of other items that need to be inflating in excess of 2.3%.

I stand corrected!!
You are right, I went to the grocery today (Whole foods to top it all) and prices were down!
I guess I said that without really thinking what it meant. Prices are still high, YES……but they have gone down!
My apologies!!

Powell: We believe this is a transitory drop in inflation and we do not want to jump the gun and lower rates.

I'm asking you an easy question: which basket of goods is PRESENTLY INFLATING AT A RATE GREATER THAN 2.3%.
And you can't answer. In fact, you'll type any clap trap EXCEPT FOR an actual answer.
And you get to vote...

Ironic question: which items at Whole Foods have you actually seen go down?

Because dropping rates would cause the economy to burn hot again due to increased demand... Causing increased inflation again...
This only happens if your economy is already burning hot and isn't over leveraged.
All I've heard is how Trump is tanking the economy and people are drowning in debt.
Context is everything.

I think if 30 year mortgage rates stay above 6%
I believe that to be a fairly safe bet through 2026.

How many times does JP have to say 2% before you learn that the goal is 2%?
Posted on 5/29/25 at 3:05 pm to HubbaBubba
Because Powell is deep state…and compromised.

What kind of fricking idiot are you. You quoted a guy saying you were right, then wore him out for being wrong. Read better moron.

Its not like we need to engineer a quick economic win for the incumbents on the eve of an election or anything important like that.
