Raising rates and removing liquidity, what could go wrong?

The difference between this gentleman and us investors is that we vote with our money and he and his collègues vote with their textbooks.

Unbelievable you people think a 2.5% Fed Rate can cause a recession in the 'greatest economy of all time'. So ridiculous. Bunch of fools. It was at 7% ithe late 90s.

Someone needs to eliminate Powell from his position any way possible.think people. You can be a hero if you come up with a great idea. I’m sure he touched someone inappropriately at some time. foxandfriends FoxBusiness MSNBC

CNBC needs to address Powell’s actions as politically motivated as a way to strike back at Trump and hinder re-election chances.

That statement shows he made the rate hike because of his personal conflict with realDonaldTrump. How does he get to be free of oversight. It’s incompetence on the part of the Fed. Americans should be furious

It is time to abolish the Federal Reserve.

The interests of the american people were not considered. The government needs growth targets!!!!like China. 4% growth!!!! end the fed

Time to do away with the fed, like Kennedy wanted to do. The fed reserve is owned by the super wealthy to control our money. We need to go back on a true gold standard. Dump the fed reserve. Stop controlling our money.

Liar. Liar. Liar.

Terrible wrong decision! Ignoring market data indicated slowing economy and job markets and where is the inflation? ! None of these are political considerations!

Hahaha. Oh, you're serious.

Fed doing right thing...ignoring WH political circus & gtting int rates back to normalized levels. US econ can take it. trump admin wasted key fiscal policy with huge unfunded tax cut near top of bus cycle, idiocy. Fed will have some tools if rates are up when recession comes.

There’s not enough inflation to justify this hike or more hikes. They are just trying to crash the economy for 2020

Nor have economic or inflation considerations played a role. They are destroying Goldilocks economy.

Great Job Powell! Your independence will drive the country into a recession ..... if only Yellen had been in a position to raise rates sooner!

The fed has screwed (again) the people NOT rescued from the housing disaster ...the home owners. Banks got bailed out Home owners who loaded up debt to try to SAVE THEIR DAMNED HOUSES now get taken for even more pain... UNBELIEVABLE GOVERNMENT

Why dont you play the part where he said they would be data dependent. Not fit the narrative?

Former Dallas Fed President: Fed will focus on real economy, not markets'They will adjust, they will be flexible, they will be patient,' Fmr. Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher said he doesn't understand why the market is so nervous about Fed policy decisions. 'This is standard Federal Reserve rhetoric.' Trying to wreck Trump's Economic Rally How is it possible that Powell and the fed board talk so much while saying so little. They should just release an emoji once a year. 👍👎 It was the 233% increase in rates in 21 months with promises of more that was problematic! 🙄

Dollar weak on expectations of no 2019 Fed hikes; Aussie slipsThe dollar weakened versus major peers such as the euro and yen on Thursday due ... Better to take it slow and cautiously... there have been a few Fed hikes already. It's a delicate thing. One doesn't want too much (excessive cool-down), or too little (markets too-hot). A measured approach is well. Stay the course Fed, stay the course. Dollar weak on treasonous chaos and fraud-spewing president
