Tiberius Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 ? Quote The Post reports: “The Federal Reserve is becoming more worried about the U.S. economy, citing slower consumer and business spending. On Wednesday, the central bank cut its growth forecasts, left interest rates unchanged and indicated it won’t do any hikes this year.” In practical terms, what does this mean? “The Fed entered 2019 predicting the economy would grow 2.3 percent and two more rate hikes would be necessary to keep the economy from overheating. On Wednesday, the Fed cut its growth forecast to 2.1 percent, and the vast majority of Fed leaders now predict no interest rate increases this year.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have their marching orders! Fed Bad! Quote President Donald Trump on Thursday fired a new broadside against the Federal Reserve under Chairman Jerome Powell, blaming the central bank for the economy's failure to exceed 4 percent economic growth last year. Trump’s attack signals that he has no plans to let up on the Fed despite its announcement Wednesday that it doesn’t expect to raise rates at all this year, given muted inflation and slowing global growth. The central bank also said that later this year it will stop shrinking its multitrillion-dollar bond holdings, a process dubbed “quantitative tightening” that can make it harder for borrowers to obtain credit.

How the lie is driven by ignorance and the joke that he is superior to anyone! I don't know what to make of the "white racial superior" comment. I don't think he ever infers that. If he does I have missed it. I guess if he is interpreted as a US nationalist, by extension he is a white supremacist? I don't think he comes close to that and I could be totally off base I don't know. I just try to see through the smoke blown around. What I do know is this: He hasn't got us into any more wars. Hasn't bombed 7 countries in the Mideast. If he hated the mussies so much wouldn't be all for bombing the shite out of them like Barry and Hillary were doing? He has steered us away from war with the whacky NK muppet and defused the tensions with Russia. Cleary it was Hillary, Obama and the neocons were wishes to fight with these countries. Pulled us out of overbearing treaties like the TPC and the Paris eco scam deals that gave unelected foreigners power over us. Trying to build a wall to protect us from 3rd world crime, disease, and more socialist mentality to boost reinforce the Democrat voting base. All good to me.
