"Interest Rates in the United States should be 1%, or less, because we are the Best Credit in the World — BY FAR,"
“The board is very hostile. They’re very political. They’re doing the wrong thing. They’re a bunch of politicians,” he said, adding, “They’re raising rates to make Trump do as bad as they can possibly do.”
"LOWER THE RATE OR I'LL STOP TRADING WITH COUNTRIES WITH WHICH WE HAVE A DEFICIT."
You can't make this up folks. It would be easier for him to just own that his own policies led to a spike in inflation which triggers the Fed to raise rates. Why not just own that Iran didn't work out the way they thought, the tariff wars aren't working out the way they thought, the bond market isn't behaving the way they thought.....I welcome anyone to tell me what IS working out the way they thought? I'll take anything: immigration, health care, taxes......gimme something that is working out right from your viewpoint.

I'm Republican AF but I like Kevin Warsh. He seems like he's got a solid head on his shoulders, an independent streak, and unlike the last chair, he doesn't have an ego. I've been vocally against the Iran War and we might need a couple increases to undo the impact.
As for one thing that's working right, immigration. Up here, ICE just took a couple more kiddie rapists off the streets. And finally getting people who hate America out of government. That alone was worth contributing to Trump's campaign.
The tariffs are dumb but ultimately sideways. Trump threatens to tariff any nation that doesn't appropriately suck his dick but they realize his short attention span means he'll move on in an hour or two.
Health care, neither party has a fucking clue on any level.
