Yellen Hikes Interest Rates for THIRD TIME Since Trump Elected President – But Only Once in Obama’s 8 Years

In the past 10 years there have been only four Fed Funds rate increases.

Three of those increases have occurred since President Trump won the election on November 8th, 2016.

These rates should go up anyways

We've had a near 0% interest rate since the last recession and we got $10 trillion in new debt plus one of the worst recoveries to show for it
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

The rates should be tied to inflation. They have been kept artifically low for too long. It is good they are starting to be brought back up.

IIRC they were purposely kept low so people wouldn't realize just how incompetent Big Ears fiscal policy was and the damage that ObamaCare and years of QE were doing the economy.

Like flood waters receding after a storm...as the interest rates come back up to where they probably should be...only then will we realize just how much QE...the ACA and Barry spending like a drunken sailor hut the economy.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

My initial post was removed for being 'anti-Semitic'... it was not.  I was pointing out Zionism... which is a completely different thing.  All Zionists are not Jews... all Jews are not Zionists... all Semites are not Jews... all Jews are not Semites... Zionism is an ongoing political effort to dominate the entire world using banking, politics and media.  If rate hikes are being implemented in the face of economic weakness, it is because it serves a Zionist agenda.  Zionists dominate the banking, political and media systems.  That agenda is always multi-tentacled with many options.

Zionists appropriate the 'holocaust card' much like any other minority group with an agenda.  That card is played as opposing 'anti-Semitism' whenever light is being shown on the Zionist agenda.  That card is being played in this thread.

Nobel prize-winning author Alexander Solzhenitsyn would get banned from TBR for 'anti-semitism'...

"Solzhenitsyn breaks last taboo of the revolution"

"Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who first exposed the horrors of the Stalinist gulag, is now attempting to tackle one of the most sensitive topics of his writing career - the role of the Jews in the Bolshevik revolution and Soviet purges.  In his latest book Solzhenitsyn, 84, deals with one of the last taboos of the communist revolution: that Jews were as much perpetrators of the repression as its victims. Two Hundred Years Together - a reference to the 1772 partial annexation of Poland and Russia which greatly increased the Russian Jewish population - contains three chapters discussing the Jewish role in the revolutionary genocide and secret police purges of Soviet Russia."

No argument there, but the point is there is an obvious political agenda by the Fed present, which should certainly trouble you greatly.

I don't think he would light the cross on fire but I'm pretty sure he would stop by and roast some marshmallows on it.
