Agreed it will be a .25 rate cut in September.

Anything greater would be an admission the Feds screwed up by not making .25 rate cut earlier. As the real estate market is beginning to crumble.

Trump's fault, not Powell's. Trump's administration should have reported accurate job numbers to the FED. Not being honest and straightforward will sometimes bite you on the ass.

I think there is a good chance the Fed will cut a 1/2 point in September. Trump will get off Powell's back for thirty days.

Was the lady in charge of job numbers not a Biden appointee? She is the one who fudged the numbers. She also fudged them in 2024 to help Harris get elected. She overstated the Jobs Growth in March 2024 by approximately 818,000 and, then again, right before the 2024 Presidential Election, in August and September, by 112,000. She got canned once Trump got his own folks look at her faked numbers.

With all due respect, Assassin, she overstated Trump's job numbers for May and June by 258,000 jobs. Extrapolate that over 12 months and it is 1,548,000 jobs!!!! That being said, her performance under the Biden Administration should have been more than enough to have gotten her the boot.

Not sure about you guys, but I certainly don't remember these huge swings / revisions in government reporting prior to the last couple of years. Maybe I am mistaken. Just don't want the trust to erode any more between our government and the American people.

Trump fired her for reporting only 73,000 jobs added in July. Had that number been 173, 000, Trump would have given her a raise.

No need to be defensive. Trump has done some very good things so far. And some not so good things. I am pulling for him. If he succeeds, we all succeed. Really no need for you to carry his water. Unless you want to. To each his/ her own. I will continue to call balls and strikes.

You usually can't even find home plate.

Have never seen anyone have a complete meltdown about the stock market like you pulled a few months ago. Told you the market would recover. And it's recovered even faster than I thought possible.

But now you have merely switched targets.

Good grief just vote for some leftist Dem and enjoy the fruits of your early retirement.

Not rules. Options. Tariffs are a self-inflicted wound. You should research the Smoot-Hawley Act and The Great Depression that lasted most of the 1930s. Draw your own conclusion. I have mine. "Those that don't learn from history are destined to repeat it".

Actually, Joe Biden and the Covid cluster **** convinced me to retire early. My only regret is I didn't do it sooner.

Back to my question. Do you think the economy is booming right now? A simple yes or no will do. You shouldn't feel attacked or insulted by the question.

Nothing Powell said more undercut his credibility than "uncertainty over tariffs." There is no macroeconomic scenario where rising tariffs threaten to short-term overheat the economy. Quite the opposite. Indeed, the loudest anti-tariff voices were screaming that Trump's tariffs would cause a depression. (in which case rate cuts would be de rigueur). Fed is de facto defending the globalist order, offering passive resistance to the structural economic policy changes Trump is pursuing. The only thing that's debatable about that is whether they are doing so purposefully, or reflexively, or ignorantly (not able to understand what he's trying to do.....lack of vision, lack of belief that such is possible, etc....). I would suggest there's some of all three at play here. Also a fair dollop of Trump disdain....existential aversion to admitting the guy might have a point. Ever. On anything. (you might want to look in the mirror on that one).

that's why Trump is using the bully pulpit to bash Powell. Powell is not leading. He's reacting. Reluctantly. Late.

I think the economy is neither booming nor crashing.

Not defensive....merely weary of your hysterics. Been ongoing since last spring.

However if mortgage rates do not drop to at least 5.5 % by the end of the year. the economy could be slumping the 1st quarter of 2026.

Dems know this....so they will fight rate any drop before the end of 2025.

Actually, I am hoping Powell cuts rates 1/4 to a 1/2 point in September due to obvious weakness in the economy. A jump in inflation will put the FED in a very tough spot. Weak job growth coupled with rising inflation.

Tomorrow should be pretty comical. The Consumer Price Index comes out and it will show accelerating inflation.(Who saw that coming?) Trump will raise Hell and fly off the handle claiming the inflation numbers are fake!

Biden's economic albatross was the Inflation Reduction Act. Trump's economic albatross is his tariffs. Both will end up yielding the same net result.
