Federal Reserve in Serious Trouble: "Inflation Projection Has Fallen Apart"

[@mitchellness9920]

people keep spending getting more in debt

[@bookkeepingtipswithty]

That debt is an asset on their balance sheet because it is borrowed to the banks. The banks then borrow it to any idiot that will take a loan out, so in the end, it is consumer debt that pays the interest. yes, printing money indirectly causes debt, but it's the dodo's maxing out their credit cards and mortgages that are directly causing it and paying for it.

[@LV9_x]

American BUSINESS is doing well, they have continually moved 50 trillion over the last 50 years, estimates can be way higher, but this was based on the Rand organization's paper. In America when they say America is doing well, it means Business, which is the primary beneficiary of American wealth. Every other group, which includes the one you and I are in, is considered a special interest. Black, White, Native American, LGTBQ, ect. we are all part of the non American Business interest group, and as such if we aren't doing well, it doesn't matter.

[@LV9_x]

A healthy example of this is incoming wealth projections for businesses have incorporated a soon to be figured out bail out. They have black in their ledger based off of American government bailing them out. This extra income allows them to take riskier loans and choices, because they are considered "Too Big to fail".

Rates need to be cut because our Federal deficit is too high. Our Interest payment alone this year is already over $1 TRILLION! But Powell will not mention that as the reason for cutting rates because the Federal Reserve is suppose to be independent from the government. In reality, not really.

Naw we good. The system is collapsing and with Trump at the helm, we have a chance to reduce government down to levels we haven't seen since the 1870s. Is it going to be painful? Sure. But we are going to be doing very well once we get out the other side.

The reason the Fed is insistent on lowering interest rates is the federal government is having a difficult time paying their outstanding debt service from the treasury bonds.

[@chrisjpritchard]

I'm a lone wolf analyst, and I was saying all along that back door public cash injections are preventing real rates from coming down. In fact it was well known that manufacturers have made price increments because they know the public had extra cash in their pockets because of the cuts . So its a vicious circle as manufacturers design new cash margin for profit either by removing items in boxes , shrinking the boxes , or hiding the items in the box with more air. I projected Dixie, back in 2022, at 114-118 when all the dust has settled and US 30Year yield topping out at about 7%. I still maintain that view meaning I saw common knowledge history being re-baked.
