Trump says interest rates should be lowered to go 'hand in hand' with his tariffs Trump again switched positions on the Fed, indicating in a social media post Wednesday that interest rates need to come down.

The 10-yr is the most important for mtg finance. The fed has no real tools to control it, and his tariff & tax cut plans are inflationary. He's too stupid to realize he is the barrier to lower rates. www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/02/...

What the end of the penny means for the economy, your piggy bank, and the way America prices items President Trump and Elon Musk want the U.S. penny gone. There are currently 114 billion pennies in circulation, but the economy will be okay without the coin.

Yes, this is .0006% of our hard cash, and yes, to a billionaire it seems insignificant. And the vast majority of consumer transactions are plastic. But everything trump touches turns into inflation for working people. Why? That $4.95 item you buy is now $5, a 1% pop.

If a significant number do resign and seek private sector jobs, supply and demand suggests that wages and benefits will shrink, which, after all, is their objective, right? www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/t...

House Republicans struggle to clinch budget resolution Hard-liners are demanding more spending cuts, but time is running out.

Trump lashes out at Biden, DEI efforts after D.C. plane crash President Donald Trump blasted former President Joe Biden and Democratic diversity measures after a midair collision above Washington, D.C.

There is obviously no connection, but he and his handlers know that the idiots who voted for him will pick it up and repeat it to normalize their racism, and in so doing we slip just a little further down the hole to apartheid. www.cnbc.com/2025/01/30/t...

Following my FEMA question, diabetes is more prevalent in red states and 47 just hiked insulin from $35 to $400. ???

According to FEMA, 44% of spending 1992-2021 was hurricane related and 20% was Covid. Hurricane damage occurs almost exclusively in red states and because of mask and vax hysteria, the same applies. Are MAGAs still going to adore 47 when the shack is floating down the bayou?

The Sheryl Sandberg termination somewhat tellingly came on the heels of a reputed meeting between Zuck and Stephen Miller. One doesn't need to be too expansive to imagine that Miller ordered this, and to attempt to legitimize it, FB has initiated a bogus email controversy. Under the bus she went.

47 is going to demand that rates come down. Giving the president power over rates puts us in the class of Peronist Argentina. If you like 23% rated and sovereign defaults you're going to love this, as all 3 of his key proposals-tariffs, tax cuts and deportation- are inflationary.

We watched Will and Harper tonight. Just when you think you've got it all together you realize there's so much more you don't even know you've got to do. Good for both of them.

It also signaled it could seek to back out of Biden-era agreements with police departments that engaged in discrimination or violence.
