If Trump hadn’t gotten us into the war then maybe conditions could’ve existed where a minor rate cut would be feasible without the huge risk it has now that the economical conditions have deteriorated compared to three months ago.
No matter how villainous the ruler, there will always be a parade of credentialed, previously at-least-generally-respectable professionals willing to say, "Why, yes - I would be pleased to serve as Minister of Cannibalism in the Administration of Zondarg the Execrable!"
Oh good lord...he's married to Lauder's daughter??!! Can we not free ourselves from these greedy, incestuous gazillionaires? What do they see in the creature in the WH? They have all the money in the world...literally...and pay virtually no taxes as it is. This gang sickens me. They won't be happy until they've raped and pillaged every last red cent from our Treasury and left us in pieces. BYW, I quit EL many years ago when they stopped including the 'puff' applicator with their powder compacts...talk about greed.
Maybe this is what needs to happen to slap Trump across the face with a bracing dose of reality. Surely he recognizes he can’t threaten to fire the guy he just appointed and was confirmed. And surely he recognizes he can’t fire all of the other members of the FOMC. Votes to hold or increase rates are simply responses to what the bond market is signaling. Even the great (only in his mind) Trump can’t bully an inanimate entity like the bond market
You are joking. He is not capable of recognizing anything. Seriously. We have been under the fist of an unteachable bully third-grader. Again, seriously.
I like how this is going. Warsh willingly stepping into the torture chamber because he's so smart, he can work this guy. And Trump grinding him into dust and then bragging to Lauder Sr about it.
And Lauder saying, "OK, I'll just open a new can of son-in-laws...ummm...about Greenland?"
I can't wait to hear you and JVL banter about Warsh. Inevitably he'll be a sock puppet on Trump's hand. I hope the makeup doesn't leave too many stains.
It’s such a pleasure to read a version of the extraordinary columns you regularly wrote for WaPo, but with a much higher word limit.

That has to be vodka that can’t be water in the picture. And that’s a compliment he looks the part of a high class Wall Street type.
Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?

Karma……
Thank you for the superb history, analysis, and prognostication.

Wow. Another great edition. But also, I'm heading to my underground shelter and I'm not coming out until 2028! PS: I love your humor...

Surely he realizes he did not, in fact, win the 2020 election!

Exactly.
Warsh could grow a spine
Haha haha haha haha!
Hey, this isn't so bad. Warsh can retain Stephanie Kelton as his personal advisor and all will be fine!!!
The Iran War did not “happen.” Trump started it. Please don’t gloss over that point, ever. That choice by Trump is the causal factor.

I am currently reading the book "Winners Curse"
