Mother frick. You know a little warning and lead time would be nice instead of every other month being complete pricing chaos for people whenever Trump feels like throwing massive tariff spikes into the world.
Maybe Mexico should be smarter and not try to work with that retard La mayor on trying to circumvent trumps policy on sending illegals home.

What legit questions have you asked? All you have done is complain like an angry ex wife

Is there a reason he can’t say: I will be implementing 100% tarrifs on all non American goods in 8 months, so plan accordingly, you’re on notice.
Think about what you’re saying. You’re willing to give them 8 months to figure out a way to scheme around the tariffs by working out a deal with China? No, being the pain and let everyone know that if they want to screw around, they can wake up tomorrow with a different set of rules. Who is in charge? Us or them?
If they don’t like our rules, let them deal with China who will be far worse. All we are asking for is a level playing field and them to “pay their fair share”.

My family in Mexico are going to be pissed!
They are partners with Heier and make all the kitchen appliances under the brand GE and HEIER.
Ooops!!
I don’t feel sorry for them because they are all hypocrites that complain about the US and loath Trump, yet send their kids to the US to study, vacations, have houses here, on and on.
Every time we talk politics it’s a shitshow!

So, because that is the only time the brain trust at the Fed has done this, then that means that will only be and should only be the time it is done? That’s thinking right in the middle of a small box.

He did give you warning. He put them off early on and told you a date.

Has he hit remittances to Mexico and Central America yet? Because that's a body shot directly against illegals. But it might be beyond EO authority and require useful action on the part of Congress.
Yes he did

I happen to think Trump's economy is pretty strong.
Several hundred thousand jobs being added almost every month, manufacturing jobs increasing, persons looking for jobs at near recent lows, unemployment around 4%, housing starts doing mostly well with a few localized exceptions where the newly built housing has gotten ahead of demand, housing prices still strong (on average too strong) and just below record prices for the most part and average wages increasing faster than inflation.
Definitely NOT crashing.
So tell us, why do you believe Trump is ruining the economy so much that a drastic cut in interest rates is needed to invigorate the country's economy?

Looks like all those countries just pissed away the time to negotiate a fair trade deal and now the clock is approaching zero.
Countries are just like people. They do what they want and not be reasonable until a boot is on their neck.
Watch. They will be bitching for more time to negotiate.
Time to step on their neck and keep it there until a fair deal is done.

Thanks for posting this link. Below is the part I think many people forget. These were announced and then entered into a 90 day pause to give time for people to adjust and other countries to negotiate…
The White House managed to strike a few deals during its 90-day pause. They brokered a trade agreement with the United Kingdom and solidified the contours of agreements with China and Vietnam.

This is what makes you an idiot. Powell cut 1% last year and the economy wasnt crashing
The data is better than last year and they are not cutting
We are over restricted by 1% we can do .25 cuts the next 4 meetings if thats what your peabrain can handle

That would make more sense. If they moved 1% the market would tank.

quote:The Fed has two mandates required by existing congressional legislation: 1) full employment, and, 2) price stability.
then that means that will only be and should only be the time it is done?
In your opinion, which of those mandates requires "thinking outside the box" for an immediate 1% interest rate cut?

Powell cut 1% last year
The Fed cut rates in three steps (-.50% in September, -.25% in November and -.25% in December) based on the moderating of the inflation rate.
quote:Inflation is stubbornly still over the Fed's target rate of 2% y-o-y.

I know you believe in the ouija board, voodoo measurement of inflation that you keep posting but only idiots believe that website has any credibility. That's probably why you like it.
quote:What sectors of the economy are currently "over restricted"? Please show your work.
We are over restricted by 1%
quote:I've already posted that I personally believe the Fed will drop the overnight rate by -.25% at their meeting on July 30 even though that's not the consensus reported on CNBC.
we can do .25 cuts the next 4 meetings
The next 3 meetings they will use the data at that time to make a decision.
