Icahn on the trump years.

Recommended Posts

Even at 86, Icahn remains one of Wall Street’s most respected minds, and this year he has repeatedly warned the U.S. economy and stock market are in trouble.

The investor argues the Federal Reserve boosted asset prices to unsustainable levels amid the pandemic using near-zero interest rates and quantitative easing—a policy where central banks buy mortgage backed securities and government bonds in hopes of spurring lending and investment.

“We printed up too much money, and just thought the party would never end,” he said, adding that with the Fed switching stances and raising rates to fight inflation, he now believes “the party’s over.”

The Trump years :lmao: Spinner don’t forget your buddy Biden’s years, he’s adding to it and much worse mind you. 

A large part of what’s happening is the fed tightening it up. You do understand this. Right?

I understand it, just don’t be so selective at who’s to blame. Make sure you include all the idiots running the money printing machine.

collectively, it’s pretty clear that our Congress is not full of the best and brightest minds in the country. It was their job to pass budgets that were not full of pork and pay back to their campaign benefactors. The jury is still out about how Covid happened and the world‘s response to it. It seems also pretty clear by now that shutting down the country for the better part of two years was a colossal mistake, and the damage it caused as yet to be quantified.
