  1. I'm not free hiker in ur country

  2. time for some pain i guess 😢

  3. The Federal Reserve Board does more than anybody or anything in the USA to F___ up the economy!!!! They are nothing but a pack of financial witch doctors, tarot card readers and crystal ball gazers who think that by fooling around with interest rates, they can make the economy, an extraordinarily complex mechanism, do what they want it to. They do far more harm than good!!!!! Their dictating the path of the economy actually uses methodology right out of Das Kapital!!!!! Get rid of them!!!!!!! And I think that little kids running a lemonade stand know more about economics than the FED!!!!

  4. In 2008, the Fed implemented 0% interest rates and QE money printing of trillions annually, and called it Emergency Monetary Policies. After 14 years of 0% interest rates and QE money printing of trillions annually, the Fed calls it “Normal.” Anything above 0% interest rates is considered “Restrictive.” The mainstream media has guzzled the Fed Koolaid! If the Fed stopped artificially manipulating the markets and let interest rates NORMALIZE in a Free Market, rates would be over 6%, and probably well north of 10%. All the Central Banks of the world have hijacked and destroyed the “money” and economy of those countries, and enslaved the people in unplayable debt! Are you smarter than a fifth grader?

  5. Common Man who are already being filled with drowned in loans will hv to take the burden ; the will hv less money in hand to spent ; not sure how much this will force the the producers (big market players ) to decrease their price of the end products since these big players of the market have enough insulation to sustain this shock & there is no tool available to control in market price .

  6. shortage of workers? I dont think so. The problem is that companies won't hire. Or they just hire contractors. Particularly in Telecommunications. It's all contract work. They dont want to pay benefits. And skilled professionals don't want to contract of course!

  7. Inflation is no big deal. Immorality is. There is a way to fix it.

  8. Recession or inflation?

  9. 3% is Powell's idea of a neutral rate. I count rates up to 4.5% for the next year.

  10. "These are desperate times, Mrs. Lovett. Desperate measures are called for."

    I wonder what billionaire tastes like…is it as good as it looks in the commercials?

  11. Thanks for the update, I’m fixed income, it’s scary 😟 for me & hurts

  12. This guy is a total failure.

  13. why does everyone believe what they hear from these people about inflation. what a bunch of ? they are going to cause a recession and hurt a bunch of Americans for no good reason. they have no idea how to regulate anything.. people just sit and accept the nonsense they dish out. poorly run.

  14. Raise interest rates with one hand
    Print billions to support transgender issues with another

  15. The threat of a painful inflation solution is a threat for homeowners to sell cheap. As the old wise ones use to say, “Forget about it.”

  16. Incompetent administration

  17. Oh no 🙊. Then we should definitely bail out the richest 1% and all the banks. 💰💰💰

  18. No such thing as a “soft landing” just heads up research the history (that repeats) 😒

  19. Pain for the people no pain for his banks they get richer and bigger and you get ripped off! Suend the Republican home!

  20. Biden is destroying the American economy

  21. It will come down as the supply line gets caught up. That will take time and raising the interest rate isn't the solution as many Americans have needed to use credit to afford basic needs. Now those same Americans have to pay more because of the interest being higher. This isn't a smart solution!!! It will only slow down large purchases that were only up, because so many refinanced the mortgages!

  22. He said its either pain or far greater pain.. no mention if either one is transitory!

  23. OH dear! Another GOVT F up… so Powell pray tell… what ya gonna do, wave a magik wand>??? or do what is against the law except for the BANKRUPT TREASURY>>>
    PRINT MORE MONEY??? HEHEHE!
    PS DOW slope this year has been great vertical skiing "DOWNHILL!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Dont forget to place the USa on the "INSOLVENT LIST" sort of like the NO WORK DHS LIST as the world would appreciate a truth for once..

  24. I am just disgusted by Powell's consistent deliberation of controversial remarks: bring down inflation close to 2% while discussing getting close to neutral fed funds rate. When the current fed funds rate is half of the core PCE inflation rate how can he even bring up the subject of neutral rate? Aren't we miles away from being restrictive?

  25. Is this Russia disinformation
