Head of Fan and Fred wants Powell out

he needs to pump pump pump that already massive bubble...then pull the plug :rof:
 
Go ahead Trump and fire Powell. I have already told you Powell is a figure head.

I don't really think Trump has the authority to fire Powell.

Drama city.

I think it would take Congress to fire Powell. I may be wrong. Waiting for more drama.

I don't really like drama. To each their own.

It doesn't matter. Powell is just a figure head.

Put somebody else in that spot and all the experts behind the figure head will say the same thing.

However, Pam Bondi is doing an fantastic job.

I like Powell. Wall Street like Powell too.
I like my high Treasury rates. It's down by 1% since last year.:(
 
The only reason we haven't totally tank financially on the global market is because of the actions of the Fed. While they did take too long to raise rates from the historic lows, That was years ago. The fed has very few tools available to them and are using what they have to try and keep inflation down. If the trumpster really wanted inflation to go down and therefore the rates, he would do away with his silly tariff, maybe tariffs and 'trade deals'.
 
Normally, FED doesn't consider fiscal policies.
Yet this time FED is watching how tariffs can increase inflation. Tariffs must be serious consideration in causing significant damage to our economy.

It will take til probably Christmas before impacts are felt. Trump is trying to hedge by lowering fed funds rate.

Inflation has already jumped and many of these tariffs have not even gone into place.
 
Yes, they are. ⛽ As of July 2025, the national average gas price is around $3.13 per gallon, which is down about 36 to 37 cents compared to July 2024. That’s nearly a 10% drop year-over-year, and it marks the lowest summer level since 2021.


Here’s a quick breakdown:


  • July 2024 average: ~$3.49/gal
  • July 2025 average: ~$3.13/gal
  • Lowest state average: Mississippi at $2.71/gal
  • Highest state average: California at $4.33/gal

The drop is largely due to:


  • Increased oil production from OPEC
  • Easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East
  • Slower global economic growth reducing demand
  • A relatively quiet hurricane season so far

If things stay stable, analysts say we might even see prices dip below $3 per gallon later this summer. Want to dig into how this compares to historical trends or what it means for inflation?
 
Pulte is friends with the head at UwM. Pultes family is a home builder.

Many homebuyers 1-3 years ago were persuaded....to believe by the new home builders...just refi. Rates will go down in the next 1-3 years when the rate buydowns reset.

Now builders are buying down the rate for 30 years. It is being reported that builders are at 13% in seller concessions in the form of buydowns.

Didn't happen. Google UWM and Rocket banking on rates going down and staffing up for the refi boom....


That is the reason govco. Wants lower rates...Pulte, builders and mortgage bankers.....


One big ponzi scheme
