Whats done is done but if the rates would have never gone below say 5% this party would be a lot different.  Now there needs to be pain to pay the tab for the way the party went.  I do smile at my mortage on my custom house we built in 2017.  15 year note @ 2.275%!!  Fuck ya!!

He's right.

nah, rates should have never gone as low as they did for as long as they did.  Fed caved into Wall Street, now we're going to go into a healthy recession because of it.

stock up on canned goods, and ammo.  ;)

Elon needs the cheap money to pump the Tesla stock.

The fed was asleep at the wheel.  The market seems to think the fed is going to pivot soon.  We are a LONG ways away from their target of 2% inflation.  A lot of people are going to need to lose their jobs to bring inflation down that far.

Yield curve on 10 yr treasuries is more inverted than it’s been in years.  The rate hikes are working.  Now it’s time to stop raising rates imo.  Maybe another predicted 50 bps this month hopefully not.

50 bps likely in December.  The hikes are working but the fed came way too late to the party.  

Turns out holding rates at or near zero for long periods of time is bad monetary policy.

Keep interest rates where they are, announce Keystone project will be completed, back off new regulations placed on the US petrolium industry and let American energy put a stranglehold on inflation.

Powell came right out and said... some people are going to lose their jobs.

Interest rates are how they control inflation.

The inflation they created from insane unnecessary spending.

trillions in stimulus certainly added gasoline to the underlying inferno

They arent going to do that as long as inflation remains high. We will need to see some pain first

Problem is , they are trying to use rates to do something they are not capable of doing. They should have only raised them 1/2 as much as they did and they should have done it 2 yrs ago.
