It's scary to go GROCERY shopping. Every item increases 10-50 cents more than last week. It adds up to a lot of money with little foods to come home. That'd make poor people POORER!

[snapfinger]

The FED’s like every bureaucracy. They want absolute power to micromanage their fiefdom. Hilarious.

Every time they do tax cut they sent middle class jobs to overseas. We sent many manufacturing jobs to overseas instead keep in United States. We should not depend on other countries to buy goods. I think we learn lesson when we had covid time.

Raising interest rate won’t do any good if government continues to print money and massive spending!

[clutchcarabelli]

The FED is to the economy what a man holding a gun to your head is to your health

[richardsmith]

The Federal Government needs to keep their GD hands off American businesses PERIOD!

[Stellaanderson-qxnl]

don’t know how but you’ve managed to package an unbiased analysis that is more entertaining than the sensationalized segment of economic and financial news. Thank you for your efforts to be the signal and not the noise. I understand that the economy is currently in a downturn and that we must wait for things to get better

[gyterdoneJP]

Get rid of the FED to further strip the political actors of any cover

[lcuijzl]

The FED has been in control since 1907. You can expect violent resistance on deregulation from them.

[cbobrun]

Have no fear! Janet Yellen to the rescue!
🤪🤪🤪🤪

[Kizmetification]

The Fed owns the money, not the government. The fed is not part of the government. All dollars are debt.

[markgraff]

Forbes & Newt would have been very Good Presidents

[josephhill]

Yellen has never said anything that makes any sense

[giridharkrishna]

Why should the Fed interfere and ‘fix’ interest rates? Why not the market freely ‘discover’ interest rates?

[tyrport]

What do you think of Milton Friedman’s K percent solution for the Federal Reserve?

[thedopplereffect]

The problem ultimately is who is allowed to print money, and why?

[jimk]

no leasing, no drilling...but fracking is ok...C'mon man!!!

[Dieselpwr]

Absolutely let whatever is gonna happen
Happen

[mjgonzalez]

Interest rates are too high preventing the American dream

The economy is grappling with uncertainties, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.
