>raised them five times so far under Trump
How can the Fed even pretend to be non-partisan anymore?

The federal reserve should be burned to the ground.
Thomas Morgan
Who the fuck wouldn't want interest rates to go up, unless you're some sort of stock-gambling kike?
Benjamin Reyes
they probably have great insurance on the buildings and would make a profit off such an event.
Gavin Jackson
People who want to borrow money

Interest rate hikes are done so in order to control inflation.
However, considering that no one can give a proper answer how many tens of trillions of dollars swim around the world now thanks to QE, it's a ticking time bomb and the Fed is just acting with short-term solutions for short-term problems in the grand scheme of things.
Adam Wilson
Thanks mathlet. If you're borrowing money, it's better for interest rates to be higher in the future than they are now.
Jose Cook
money is what holds people as slaves to this fucked up system. people become cowards because they're afraid of losing money or their jobs which help make them money and so they never truly speak their mind.
once we get rid of the current global banking cartels and their evil idea of slavery via debt and fiat currency all of humanity will be much stronger and honest with each other.
Zachary Anderson
Raising interest rate while the outcome of the trade spats is not ensured. That is stabbing the US in the back.
Jaxson Green
it looks to me like they raised it twice under obama
Aaron Lewis
the 2nd time was right at the end of 2016 after Trump was revealed to have won the election.
Michael Thomas
Does it count as Obama when Trump is president elect? Because the second one looks after Nov 16.
Hunter Cox
Whose in charge of the Fed?
Bentley Nguyen
well said user
current chairman is Jerome Powell, appointed by Trump. the current committee for the meeting talked about in the OP is pic related. It's usually a bunch of other big bankers who meet to talk about just how exactly they'll rape the economy.
Jose Bailey
For us to go full Wiemar, we need to crash this economy with no survivors.
Xavier Lewis
You burn the people, not necessarily the buildings themselves.
Aiden Baker
this graph is so fucking damning.. I presume you were trying to make the fed look a bit better, but it does the polar opposite.
the fed needs to be destroyed... immediately. why we outsource our economy to a private cabal of jews is beyond me.. the single most disastrous decision in american history
Jordan Mitchell
it's going to happen by itself. Next crisis will be even more savage than the 2008 one. The signs are there, screencap this if you want

>PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON: "A great industrial Nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the Nation and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the world - no longer a Government of free opinion no longer a Government by conviction and vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men." (Just before he died, Wilson is reported to have stated to friends that he had been "deceived" and that "I have betrayed my Country." He referred to the Federal Reserve Act passed during his Presidency).

Oy vey goy, you win with interest rates, goy you win with fiat debt compounded over and over.
Don't be an anti-semite goy.

Interest rate hikes reign in the market and keep bonds in play. Can't have everyone exposed to volatility in equities like we did from 2010-2016. Further, the longer interest rates were kept artificially low, the longer the business cycle stays warped. It's time for a correction. Not out of spite for the economy. Rather, to find and establish a baseline for this rampant growth we've experienced.

The problem with raising rates now of course is the 21 Trillion in debt

How good of the fed to fiddle with the economy while Trump is president.
William Rogers
Yes, while taxes have been slashed for corporations and the middle class families, an boomers begin to retire at an increasing rate, it's a good time indeed to hike rates.
James Nguyen
What is that National debt anyway? How much of that is callable? Are we looking at it like a quick ratio? The subtlety for the interest rates is timing. The US borrows heavily while global interest rates are low across all markets, then sells bonds when money is tighter. Right now we see large outlays of cap ex, expansion, and reformation of business objectives in a somewhat more de-regulated environment. With business doing better, they'll in turn grow their revenues. Thus the GDP will grow too as the debt load grows in kind. What does this mean? More debt isn't necessarily bad provided that incomes increases too.
Luke Bennett
Corporate debt is at all time highs. Also your assumption that foreign nations will always buy government debt in the form of bonds is false.
Jace Ortiz
Siener van Rensburg was right again. We get a huge worldwide economic crash around the time when South Africa has their race war and World War III follows. Buckle up my dudes.
Christian Jackson
they might have been saving it as a trump card against Trump's reelection in 2020, but they seem so desperate it could happen as early as this year to disrupt the midterm elections.
things are gonna get so bad, it will be unprecedented. there's no easy way to "buckle up" for it. the toughest part will be psychological.
