Quote:Oh I very much agree.  The "robust economy" that liberals are claiming that Obama produced is actually doomed to fail.  Interest rates should have been risen AT LEAST last spring if not earlier.  The problem is that the Fed as an institution was in the tank for Obama.  They held off raising interest rates until it became apparent that cankles wasn't going to win the election.  They (specifically Janet Yeldon) held off on raising interest rates simply to protect Obama and his "legacy".  Now that Trump is the President, they'll raise them again.  The Fed is actually a very powerful arm in government that most people don't really know about or understand.

 

I don't get it.   Do you think the fed should raise interest rates or not?   

 

You say they kept them too low for too long, but now you say they are going to raise them to sabotage Trump.  So should they raise them or not?  If it was wrong to keep them so low for the past 8 years, why would you think they should keep them low now?  

 
If the federal government has to borrow a trillion dollars to fund the Trump Infrastructure Plan, don't you think interest rates would go up regardless of the fed?   

 

It seems like you're just preparing to cast blame on someone else when Trump fails.  You'll blame the fed, for doing what you and he said they should have been doing all along.
