Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Nobody has accused him of being intelligent.
JPow big dick energy
He had smol ppl energy in 2018 when he should have raised rates and caved to the orange man. Reinflated what was already an asset bubble that was shrinking, then Covid happened and he had to lower already low rates. JPOW caving to Trump is a huge part of the inflation we have now. I'm sure he'll go out on his sword, but he should have done that in 2018.
It would be hilarious if Drunpf ends the fed in a fit.
Why would that be hilarious? Because we would get to see morons like you learn in real time why it's necessary?
Not american. It would be hilarious because it's one of the institutions that made his rise to power possible.
Haha it would be soooo funny to crash the global economy you are right. Totally a lol moment for you and your loved ones!
Doubt this would crash the global economy. The US dollar would lose value relative to other currencies, and this would have a global impact, but Americans would be hit the hardest. The average American family would have to stop buying eggs, for example.
This would hurt any country that holds large amounts of US debt like Japan and China.
You clearly do not understand how interconnected the global economy is.
How interconnected it was. It seems to be China and the US are pulling away from each other.
You named two countries. It would certainly have a global impact bit the USians would be hit hardest by far.
It'll hurt the right people
And you're the problem with the world right now. People like you.
That’s the idea. How else is the USA going to pay off 33 Trillion dollars of debt?
Hyperinflation.
The average American family would have to stop buying eggs, for example.
Bird flu is taking care of that already
If he did this and muscled lower rates through then the value of the US dollar would plummet and cost of living would become even more disastrous. This is how you put the US on the same path as Argentina and Turkey.
Yeah, and? What matters is owning the libs.
Yeah and he would say that it's Bidens fault and his supporters would believe him.
I hope they don't cave to this dumbass. This idiot could not even profit from a casino, FFS, and no one should be following his "lead" on economics.
Soooo how well does jewelery sell at pawn shops?
