And they’re still on cnbc daily saying rates need to go down to save the us. There’s a guy on right now saying rates need to be lower to save the ai bubble.
replyYes, save the asset holders, damn the peasants. even Trump said he wants to see housing prices go higher.
replyThese people do not care about you. You need to hate them more.
Do you think the common person benefits from high interest rates? Pray tell, how?
replyIt helps keep inflation under control, for one thing. For another, it helps prevent billionaires from wasting even more money on boondoggles.
reply> prevent billionaires from wasting even more money on boondoggles
replyThis is what you want though? If everyone stops "wasting even more money on boondoggles" there is no innovation, and no jobs if nobody is making more boondoggles.
10y rates are almost exactly where they were 20 years ago, and about 10% lower than they were 20 years before that.
replySo...what are you talking about?
You mean just before ‘08?
replyI mean 20 years ago, just like the original comment said. What is confusing? The last 20 years of interest rates are unremarkable, and certainly don't indicate the US is failing.
replyIn this particular case I think it's just because Trump can't resist doing every single thing Israel wants.
replyits because they have him on tape having sex with children
replyBut what about Graham Platner?
reply/s
Sexual assault allegations and literal Nazi symbolism tattooed on his body. Those things are acceptable now? These were the exact things that Democrats went after Hegseth for (who, for the record, is also a doofus like Platner).
replyThe left's hypocrisy knows no bounds.
You can guess where the bar is when the guy in the white house was literally convicted of sexual assault in a court of law, and he still won the republican nomination.
replyNow compare that against a credible accusation being enough to derail a senate hopeful in a must win seat for the Democrats. Sorry, I don't see the hypocrisy. Actually, I do see it, just not on the side you insist it's on.
I'm willing to put up with a lot to put the brakes on Trump. But since I'm not in Maine, it's not up to me.
