The banks along with the Fed "create" money for more or less "free" and charge the rest of us a fee in the form on interest to use it. Its quite a racket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds bad but it could/probably means inflation will further slow leading to rate cuts soon Rates are not bad now, but a little boost with the cuts should make things purr along/ Russia's interest rates are 16% HA HA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the WSJ worrying that things are too good and can't last. It seems that nobody on the right (old or new) can be happy these days. https://www.wsj.com/economy/global/us-economy-strongest-world-imf-projections-8e707514 America’s Economy Is No. 1. That Means Trouble. If you want a single number to capture America’s economic stature, here it is: This year, the U.S. will account for 26.3% of the global gross domestic product, the highest in almost two decades. That’s based on the latest projections from the International Monetary Fund. According to the IMF, Europe’s share of world GDP has dropped 1.4 percentage points since 2018, and Japan’s by 2.1 points. The U.S. share, by contrast, is up 2.3 points. China’s share is up since 2018, too. But instead of overtaking the U.S. as the world’s largest economy, the Chinese economy has slipped in size to 64% of the U.S.’s from 67% in 2018. You sound like my mother. 75 degrees, sunny, gentle breeze. Me: what a fantastic day! Mom: but not for long! The weatherman says it may snow next week.
