You can't read.

Waiting on your stand.

OK.

To what should they come down, and why?

Borrowing rates not investment rates. The cost of money should be 1 or 2 percent, not 4

I have taken my stand, Son of Beach Evacuee.  Waiting on yours.  NO questions will be answered until you become a man and take a stand.  

Don't bother me unless it is your stand.

I have an associate who lived it for real in the 1980's in the S+L Financial Crisis.  Served time and everything.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. So you threw him or her under the bus to save your own soul. Guilt by association. Judge a person by the ideology they rather die protecting cradle to grave than live equally alive as eternally separated in plain sight.

Thanks for validating your character over the last 40 years. Actions/behavior speak louder than context directs social outcomes daily here in every tongue working reality against ancestries in every society here daily.

How do you think the S+L Loan crisis happened? Everybody kept the construction loan money and the mortgage payment on the new home at the same time back then in the 1980;s

My associate happened to be one that got caught. They told them we need 650K in two weeks or else.  They managed to come up with 450K and asked for two more weeks for the other 200K, the bank took the 450K and said not good enough and proceeded to prosecute.

The only financial instrument you know how to play is the skin flute.  Trumpocalypse has made bankruptcy an acceptable financial tool in the box.

If Powell would drop the rates 2% for 6 months... Trump would re-finance 10 Trillion $$$ of debt, and save America at 100's of Billions of $$$ in interest costs... I guess Powell doesn't see that?  ...OR, doesn't WANT to see that !

What is the history of inflation in the US in the last 18 months?
Inflation in the United States has seen a decline from its peak in June 2022 at 9.1%, steadily decreasing throughout 2023. This easing of inflationary pressures has been attributed to a combination of factors, including weakening demand for goods, slowing shelter costs, and softer food and energy markets. However, the path back to the Federal Reserve's target inflation rate of 2% has been somewhat bumpy. The Federal Reserve has been actively using monetary policy tools, such as increasing interest rates, to combat inflation and steer it towards the target. 
During the 18-month period from January 2024 to June 2025, inflation has fluctuated. Inflation dropped to 2.9% in July 2024, the lowest since March 2021, with used car prices returning to normal levels. However, costs like rent, childcare, and electricity continued to increase at around 5%. Inflation was a significant concern for voters in the November 2024 U.S. Presidential election. In February 2025, the consumer inflation rate was 2.8% year-over-year, still above the Fed's 2% target, with projections for it to rise due to new tariffs. By April 2025, annual inflation slowed to 2.3%, but the full impact of tariffs was not yet reflected. In June 2025, the annual inflation rate reached 2.7%, increasing for the second consecutive month and representing the highest level since February, linked to businesses passing on higher import costs, particularly in certain goods categories. Core inflation, excluding food and energy, increased to 2.9% in June. The June CPI report showed the all items index rose 0.3% in June (seasonally adjusted) and 2.7% over the last 12 months (not seasonally adjusted). The index for all items less food and energy increased 0.2% in June (seasonally adjusted) and 2.9% over the past year (not seasonally adjusted). The history of inflation in the US over the last 18 months shows a general trend of disinflation after the mid-2022 peak, with recent upticks in mid-2025 influenced by factors like tariffs

No questions will be entertained until some posters who are in arrears pay of their debt.

I don't really care but I find it telling that a self described finance guru such as yourself has nothing to say about it.

But then again you claim to be an expert in everything from firearms to the military to aviation to....etc etc etc....

 

You're blind to the irony?

Do you really buy how government counts inflation.?

its called a basket of goods.

They dont really count lots of stuff like say beef to high they assume ya eat chicken or electricity out youll buy candles stuff like that ya see.

Government has to jigger actual inflation to avoid raising Social Security checks too much
