The Federal Reserve should cut US interest rates to"zero, or less," said President Donald Trump in a tweet this morning. Lower rates would give the country the chance to refinance its debt pile at lower rates, Trump said. What Trump is proposing would be extreme: The Fed didn't even take rates into negative territory in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis.
The United States has some $70 trillion of total public and private sector debt. And a debt pile like that comes with a hefty interest bill. According to research from the Institute of International Finance, a 1% rate cut by the Fed couldTrump has long called on the Fed and Chairman Jerome Powell to lower rates to boost the economy, citing low rates in other countries as proof that America is lagging behind.
But the US economy remains stronger than those of its peers. It does not need interest rates as low as Trump might like them. Even though the pace of growth in America is expected to taper some into the end of the year, it continues to outpace European countries.
What? 😂
Free advertising for Apple or did they pay CNN for this mention?
Did you know that 6-10 cnn polls show the number 6-10... mmmm🤔
It always amazes me that apple gets so much free coverage of its new products. Every time. Where no others do. It’s odd.
My personal highlight: BORIS LIED TO THE QUEEN. 🇬🇧👑 🙈
Liberal media is so desperate for hatred. Trying to talk people into a recession and hoping for a recession is very un American. How embarrassing to be CNN
Oh thou, I miss the times when we actually cared about new iPhone 🤷♀️
Why are iPhone prices lower? Are those 6 in 10 Americans wrong? Why?
