The Economy

How does hiking rates lower inflation

I know, lowers demand by killing economic activity

Then what you really mean is. Kill economy, lower rates

While a bit of an oversimplification this is correct. Keep economic activity a little lower and keep inflation under control.

I say lower rates. Boom economic activity and productivity

Lower inflation

I don't believe it would be "Boom economic activity" but there would be an increase. On no planet does that lead to lower inflation. An absolute best case scenario and absolute fantasy scenario is one where we don't see really high inflation but the world where lower inflation results from increased economic activity doesn't exist.
 
Interestingly enough, we were told by the forum's MAGA supporters that 47 was already doing the work in November and December.

But now the economy is still Biden's.

Yes they suffer from that BDSM disease - Biden Derangement Syndrome Maggots eating away their insides as they watch the economy collapse
 
Reagan/Bush left an economic mess. Clinton cleaned it up. W left an economic mess. Obama cleaned it up. Trump left an economic mess. Biden cleaned it up.

It always seems to go like that. Back to FDR cleaning up the mess left by Hoover.
 
Why Investors Shouldn’t Hold Their Breath for US Interest Rate Cuts

A resilient job market, healthy economic growth, and high consumer demand point to an economy that’s in “an incredibly strong position,” explains PIMCO economist Tiffany Wilding. At the same time, inflationary pressures are proving to be stickier than Fed officials would hope.

To top it all off, Wilding says, “We’re coming into this period of elevated government policy uncertainty” from the Trump administration. The impact of new policies like tariffs on inflation and growth is still widely unknown. Analysts say that’s a recipe for an extended pause on interest rates.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell has echoed that sentiment. “With our policy stance now significantly less restrictive than it had been and the economy remaining strong, we do not need to be in a hurry to adjust our policy stance,” he told lawmakerson Capitol Hill on Tuesday.

Strong economy but with lingering inflation pressures. All are in agreement.

Not quite sure where most of this is coming from. The Carter years, for the USA, and most of the world besides, were times of hardship. Inflation, unemployment, the nagging feeling that the Communist system would overtake the West. Twelve years later, after Reagan/Bush, things had never been so good.

People who voted for Trump in 2024 remind me of people who voted for Clinton in 1992. Yes, things were going pretty well with the administration in office, but the challenger was glib and energetic and so . . .

Then, after eight years of Clinton, you had the internet bubble, the real estate bubble, the "peace dividend" squandered and a dozen or so Saudis taking lessons in American flight schools, but not bothering to learn how to land the planes.

Will the mess following Trump's second term be worse than the mess following Clinton's?
 
Can Trump Tank the Biden Economy? Here Are Eight Ways

President Biden handed off the best economy to an incoming president since at least the 2001 handoff from Clinton to Bush II. In his last quarter in office, GDP grew at a 2.3 percent annual rate (final demand, which excludes inventory fluctuations, grew at a 3.2 percent rate). That brought the average growth rate for Biden’s presidency to 3.2 percent, the highest since Clinton’s second term.

The unemployment rate fell to 4.0 percent in January, keeping it in the narrow band between 4.0 percent and 4.3 percent it has been in since last May. For Biden’s whole term the unemployment rate averaged 4.1 percent, the lowest since Johnson’s last term, more than half a century ago.

In addition, productivity growth has been unexpectedly fast, running at close to a 2.0 percent rate in the last year. And these productivity gains are being passed on in rising real wages, with workers across the wage ladder getting their share of productivity growth.

That Insurance CEO won't be the last to pay the price for all this. I hope they are all starting to spend a LOT of money on their security! Good luck with that!

Welcome to the SHITHOLE. I'm not sure that that's what MAGA meant.
 

  1. Argentina is not what we were discussing.
  2. Argentina’s economy has changed but not entirely for the better.
  3. Argentina’s poverty rate increased to 53% in the first half of 2024.
  4. Argentina’s inflation rate is still very high (84% for the 12 months ending in January).
  5. Argentina’s central bank benchmark interest rate is currently 29%. Not exactly the low rate you advocated for. Why is their rate so high? Because they’re using it to lower inflation, exactly as I explained to you.
Noitall/moOHmo is desperately trying to prove a point … but he doesn’t even understand what that point is. 👍
