Alright, so the Fed cut rates again. Big deal. We're supposed to be throwing confetti because Jerome Powell and his band of merry money-printers shaved off another quarter-point? Give me a break.
Powell's out there saying they're "shoring up economic growth." Sounds nice, doesn't it? Like they're patching up a leaky roof. But let's be real, this feels more like putting a band-aid on a bullet wound. The economy's sputtering, and they're fiddling with the thermostat, hoping nobody notices the engine's about to blow.
And the "government shutdown’s interruption of economic reports"? Convenient excuse, isn't it? "Oh, we can't really see what's going on, but trust us, we know what we're doing." Yeah, right. It's like flying a plane blindfolded and telling the passengers everything's fine.
Powell even admitted there were “strongly differing views about how to proceed in December.” So, they're basically admitting they're making this up as they go along.
But hey, at least mortgage rates might dip a little. Maybe you can save a few bucks on that crippling debt you'll be paying off for the next 30 years. Progress!
Oh, and let's not forget the orange elephant in the room. Trump's been screaming at Powell for ages to cut rates. And now that it's happening, it's supposed to be some kind of independent decision? Please. The Fed's about as independent as a toddler with a credit card.
Speaking of toddlers, Trump's already talking about replacing Powell. "He’s out of there in another couple of months,” he said. You know, it's almost comical how blatant this all is. The guy treats the Fed chair like an employee he can fire for not kissing his ring enough.
And then there's the tariff thing. Powell's trying to downplay the impact of Trump's tariffs, saying inflation is "not so far from our 2% goal" if you ignore the tariffs. That's like saying the house isn't on fire if you ignore the flames shooting out the windows.
The article mentions that the White House even hinted that October’s inflation report may never be issued at all. Never issued? What the hell kind of transparency is that? Sounds like they're deliberately trying to keep us in the dark. Federal Reserve meets today for an interest rate decision. Here's what economists predict.
Without reliable data, we're all just guessing. The Fed's guessing, economists are guessing, and you and I are guessing. It's a clown show, frankly.
And these layoffs! UPS, Amazon, Target... Powell says the Fed is watching them "very carefully." Yeah, I'm sure they're wringing their hands and clucking their tongues. But are they actually doing anything?
It's all so predictable. The Fed cuts rates, stocks get a little bump, everyone pats themselves on the back, and then we all go back to pretending everything's normal while the whole damn system teeters on the brink.
It's a shell game, pure and simple. They're shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic, hoping we won't notice the iceberg. The Fed's trying to keep the party going, but the music's getting fainter and the ship's taking on water. Ain't nobody got time for that.
