I agree with most of your comments... Yellin is INCOMPETENT, and should NEVER have been in a position of power. Powell made some STUPID decisions (i.e. Inflation was "Transitory" being one)... but he seems to have decided now... that 2% inflation is the GOAL... and that higher rates and a recession are acceptable risks... in order to get inflation BACK in the bottle... and I AGREE with that ! Recessions are "NORMAL"... they are periods when the excesses of the "greedy" are punished and corrected, and the economy comes out the other end, REFRESHED, FLUSHED OUT, RESET, and READY for the NEXT cycle. The Private Equity CABAL wants to KEEP: 1) Interest rates LOW, 2) Inflation HIGH, and 3) Their GRAVY TRAIN rolling... Well, THAT is a FOOLISH PATH... destined for a HUGE Economic CALAMITY, that will DESTROY much of middle America, DESTROY America as an economic leader, AND DESTROY the dollar in the process...johndnorth » 06 May 2023, 6:57 pm » wrote: ↑ The fed has been timid for years. Yellin was so bad senile Biden made her Sec. of the Treasury. We now have Powell who claims banks are OK. JP Morgan took in deposits from First Republic as FR was failing. They then took these deposits and bought FR at a fire sale price. Powell and Yellin printed the money. Powell is no Volker. Powell needs to boost rates higher than the rate of inflation. Senile Biden boasts that everyone is working so any jobs lost will be absorbed by new jobs. Keep raising the rates and kill the inflation.

WHY? BECAUSE EVEN IF savings rates are at 5%... if inflation is at 10%... THEY will LOSE 5% of their wealth every year, due to everything becoming MORE Expensive !
So, WHY does the CABAL want it? 1) It enables Politicians to spend MASSIVE amounts of money they don't have, by simply PRINTING it, 2) The Private Equity Cabal can make BILLIONS & BILLIONS in profit by exploiting the easy money policies, and 3) They don’t really CARE about the hard working people who will be CRUSHED as INFLATION explodes !
What can we do? Answer: SUPPORT Jerome Powell’s attempt to CONTROL out of control inflation… The Private Equity Cabal, and the Democrat Party have done everything possible to CONTROL the Fed and Money policy… going as far as to appoint a fairly “Conservative” Chairman (Jerome Powell) as cover… while at the same time delaying his appointment, until they could STUFF the Fed with left leaning votes… NOW the Private Equity Cabal can throw BILLIONS of dollars at propaganda (like articles about: 1) the "BENEFITS of INFLATION", 2) How the Fed RAISING interest rates is BAD, and and a "Recession MUST be pervented), and manipulating data and metrics to try to CORNER Jerome Powell into ACCEPTING higher INFLATION, at lower interest rates, and solidifying their HOLD on money policy… They must be stopped !!
Supply Side Economics (i.e Reducing taxes to stimulate an economy), when coupled with Democrat Tax and Spend Economics (Without raising the TAXES)... is NOT a very good model ! BUT THAT is the model that Democrats have NEVER shied away from WHEN IN POWER... CREATING TRILLIONS in Debt, and an economy on the VERGE of a CALAMITY... AND THEN, trying to blame the DEBT on Republicans !!razoo » 07 May 2023, 8:14 am » wrote: ↑ "INFLATION, the Democrats plan to spend TRILLIONS of $$$, by PRINTING it ALL.. and NEVER paying ANY of it BACK !! " = BORROW BORROW BORROW = The perfect description of Supply Side Economics aka Reaganomics aka Wreckanomics ===========
Keeping tax dollars in the economy is good for business = investing
Taking tax dollars out of the economy is bad for business and grows the national debt = Supply Side Austerity
Supply Side Austerity = why it’s a problem

If you buy a share of TSLA or MSFT, you cannot sell it back to the issuing corporation for any more than this stated value. Of course, most shares you buy were issued long ago and have been bought and sold by other investors before you many, many times.
TODAY you buy a stock based on the quote you decided to accept, in the number of shares you want to buy, and PAY the amount of $$$ that all of that adds up to.. the total NUMBER of shares available changes FREQUENTLY... due to stock buy backs, and stock splits... AND the value of the stocks changes ALL the TIME... WHAT kind of BS are YOU trying to peddle (above)?
The corporation decides whether to pay dividends to shareholders, and what amount will be paid. People buy shares because of the hope that some future buyer of their stock will buy them at a greater price. It mostly is not about the dividends.
Dividends DO change based on decisions made by the corporation... BUT, YOU have the choice to EITHER buy OR sell the shares based on: 1) The value (because you think it will go UP, OR DOWN), 2) The Stated Dividend ( Because you want the stocks dividend for a regular (Monthly, or Quarterly, or Other period), payout by the corporation), or 3) BOTH !! PEOPLE by stocks for ALL THREE REASONS... ALL THE TIME !!
You can purchase .00000000000001% of TSLA or MSFT, but you have no say about dividends or governance of the corporation unless and until you own 51% of the shares (or join with other so that together you will own a controlling interest.
You have the choice to either BUY, or NOT BUY, SELL, or NOT SELL... the shares ANY TIME you want... YOU DON'T need to OWN the company to have a LOT to SAY about whether you OWN a given Company or NOT... ARE YOU and IDIOT ..or WHAT??
Both Democrats and Republicans are responsible for the government borrowing money. They do this because people love government services, but hate paying taxes. The GOP, however, has done everything it could do to prevent the IRS from collecting the total amount of taxes that are by law due.
When was the last time DEMOCRATS tried to FORCE Republicans to SPEND LESS?... and TO REDUCE the size of the DEFICIT and DEBT ? I LITERALLY don't think THAT has happened in MY LIFETIME !! However, Republicans have tried to do it REPEATEDLY (EVERY year or so), to get Democrats to slow spending... AND Democrats TELL the Republicans they WILL NOT EVEN Negotiate... and FORCE the Republicans to go along... because EVERYONE KNOWS that IF the the debt limit is not raised... the GOVERNMENT will default, and it will probably IMPLODE the Dollar (Literally), and CREATE a WORLD WIDE crisis... after which the dollar will no longer be the reserve currency of the world... THE DEMOCRATS are the ones who play the game of CHICKEN (EVERY TIME), and Republicans are FORCED to go along... SO, calling the Republicans "RESPONSIBLE" is PRETTY ASININE !! THIS is something the Democrats are 99.99% Responsible for... and have been for DECADES !!
They (Democrats) have spent so much money over the last 15 years, and plan to spend SO MUCH MORE... that they are trying to make "ELEVATED Inflation" PART of our future lives... WHY? Because, although Democrats dont have the GUTS to raise taxes.. they are STILL have spent, and plan to spend SO MUCH MORE money... that the ONLY way they can do it NOW... WITHOUT raising taxes to OBSCENE levels, and making it be OBVIOUS to the American voters WHO is to blame... is to INFLATE their way OUT of the debt !Chiseler151 » 07 May 2023, 3:21 pm » wrote: ↑ The more you pay, the more taxes they collect and spend on fake ****.

Sometimes the greater physical and legal force of a local magnate intimidated freeholders or allodial owners into dependency. Often a few years of crop failure, a war, or brigandage might leave a person unable to make his own way. In such a case, he could strike a bargain with a lord of a manor. In exchange for gaining protection, his service was required: in labor, produce, or cash, or a combination of all. These bargains became formalized in a ceremony known as "bondage", in which a serf placed his head in the lord's hands, akin to the ceremony of homage where a vassal placed his hands between those of his overlord. These oaths bound the lord and his new serf in a feudal contract and defined the terms of their agreement. Often these bargains were severe.
A 7th-century Anglo Saxon "Oath of Fealty" states:
By the Lord before whom this sanctuary is holy, I will to N. be true and faithful, and love all which he loves and ......>>>>>>>>>>>>>>shun all which he shuns,<<<<<< according to the laws of God and the order of the world. Nor will I ever with will or action, through word or deed, do anything which is unpleasing to him, on condition that he will hold to me as I shall deserve it, and that he will perform everything as it was in our agreement when I submitted myself to him and chose his will.
Blame your neighbors join a gang and get some papers, ponsi scam ends you buy a gun, steal a car, you try to run but you don't get far.

The billionaires are not republican or democrat, they fund and manipulate-control both sides who have possibly already turned USA health care system control over to a foreign corporation entity, Republicans and democrats seem to be playing parts in a show and so how can a group of actors who are playing a part be a real opponent? Democrats are there to destroy, republicans are there to make you feel like someone is possibly going to help.ConservativeWave » 08 May 2023, 8:50 am » wrote: ↑ There's a LOT of that that I agree with... and some that I don't....
AGREE:
1) America IS being controlled by a handful of Democrat Billionaires who support the Democrat Party... (although the RINO Republicans are VERY close kissing cousins to them... and THAT is why RINO's HATE Donald Trump... because THEY DO NOT control Donald Trump) !
2) We ARE being manipulated into becoming "SERFS" for a Ruling Democrat Billionaire class !
3) EVERY DAY... Americans are LOSING MORE power, MORE influence, and MORE Freedom... BECAUSE of the Ruling Democrat Billionaire class, the Democrat Party, and RINO Republicans !!
DO NOT AGREE:
1) That Republicans and RINO Republicans are the same... Why? Because RINO Republicans HATE Donald Trump AND ANYONE who wants to FURTHER the Power of the PEOPLE, the Constitution, and LIFE. LIBERTY, and the Pursuit of Happiness... THEY are closer to the Democrat Billionaires who support the Democrat Party !
2) That the battle is LOST... BUT, we NEED REAL Americans to STAND UP, and FIGHT BACK !!
