Welcome to America in 2019, where headlines like the following are possible, thanks to Republicans: **Fed risks more angry Trump tweets as pause in future rate cuts looms** > **[Fed risks more angry Trump tweets as pause in future rate cuts looms](https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/30/federal-reserve-interest-trump-061326)** > > Fed policymakers on Wednesday are widely expected to cut interest rates for the third time since July. ---

If the economy is the best it has ever been in history, why does the Fed need to cut rates? It’s almost as if someone doesn’t know what he is talking about. ---

The Trump Org has several hundred million dollars in variable rate loans. Dropping the fed rates saves them millions in interest. The Kushner company is similar. ---

It’s not just “died like a dog” and “fired like a dog.” There’s a video (which I can’t find right now) composed of clips of him saying at least a dozen different “…like a dog” phrases. Many of which are things that dogs don’t do. ---

The Fed rate is just another example of how the little guy get screwed. Low interest rates and low tax rates benefit the rich. If you want to give the rich a tax break then interest rates should go up to help people who may only have a savings account. ---

If you want to give the rich a tax break then interest rates should go up to help people who may only have a savings account. Correct, I suspect. They already blew up their “sacred” deficit to get a tax break. I never ever want to hear about the fucking deficit again. And they are working hard at suppressing interest rates to benefit themselves. Or rather Trump is doing it to benefit himself. He doesn’t really give a fuck about rich people either, except for himself. ---

Just a thought-If one of our heroic military dogs had died in the raid that took out Al-Bahgdadi would Trump say he “died like a dog” and if so, would he then be praising the terrorist for dying like one of our hero dogs? ---
