The Federal Reserve favors Biden?

[PlanetJosh]

The Fed (Federal Reserve) is supposed to be impartial but it looks like they are in Biden's camp. They may be adjusting interest rate plans to make it look favorable to Biden to help get him re-elected next year. So as to make the economy look better.

Don't know how much the forum cares about The Fed, but it's an interesting manipulation being done by them in full view of the public.

shitlol

The Fed's concern is fixing the economy and keeping it stable no matter who is in office at the moment.

To say/think otherwise is conspiratorial bullshit.

I feel like there is a lot of Republican propaganda to decode from that idea.
They measured inflation low enough that, for the Feds to do their jobs, they must lower interest rates.
Why would you want interest rates to stay this high forever?

Not to mention that the rich are the ones who benefit the most from high interest rates. They tend to have investments and interest-gaining accounts or CoD, where as the middle and lower classes are more likely to have loans and mortgages.

Isn't it the OP who said all the economic numbers since 2008 are fake? Or was that some other nutter?

Must have been some other nutter.

But it's telling the OP has supplied zero evidence.

I saw your report. It is not spam. Please do not report posts like this as such. It is a waste of your time and ours.

Not tanking the economy is helping Biden?

Thats some Trump level logic right there.

If the Fed were impartial what should they be doing differently? Be as specific as possible.

Lol vs Russia and Saudi Arabia manipulating crude oil prices to artificially exuberant inflation but somehow Biden gets the blame.

The same Fed raised rates so Republicans can campaign against Biden.

See how conspiracies work??

Biden personally stopped all US oil production, we've completely lost our "energy independence". If it wasn't for Biden the US would be producing record amounts of energy.

Oh wait, we are.

OP always seems to be on the losing side of a trade judging by his posts in the stock market threads. Probably shorted something he shouldn’t have and decided it was a conspiracy, not his lack of economic and financial savvy.

I want my 5% savings and CD rates.

Not to mention that the rich are the ones who benefit the most from high interest rates. They tend to have investments and interest-gaining accounts or CoD, where as the middle and lower classes are more likely to have loans and mortgages.

I may be the lowest income on this board, certainly one of them. I have no debt to pay interest on.

I bet I'd give you a run for your money, as I'm now on a fixed amount disability income.

I only have one CC that has any balance on it but I barely notice any changes in the interest rate. It's only about a $500 balance currently on there so the interest rate isn't a concern with me. I don't have a mortgage, car loan, high balance CCs, etc.

I can see how it affects others though.

Well, the actual history is instead:

- First, the Fed dropped rates to 0 to try to save the incompetent Trump presidency, but that wasn't enough, they still failed

- Second, the Fed spiked interest rates to the highest level in over 20 years, deliberately crippling the public view of the economy under Biden to empower Republicans to take back the House and furthermore to cripple Biden's reelection chances, and they have continued that policy through today without relenting so far.

'things are getting better under Biden and he's looking objectively better, it must be someone manipulating things behind the scenes to make him look good!'

Keep em coming. I need a good laugh.

The Fed raised rates to kill off inflation. Whether or not the price rises can be blamed on the Orange Guy might be debatable.

 

[alien42]

The Fed chairman is a Republican, the Fed chairman has always been a Republican. Suggesting that they are helping a Democrat is hilarious.

Do you think their actions are making the economy better?

That's tricky to answer, some experts argue that the economy could go either way. The forum posters can answer it but if they do so in a serious manner it makes me look better. And a lot here don't want that. So probably best for them to just feverishly rail against me.

Remember when Obama handed off a good economy to the fat smelly one? Do you remember the fat smelly one went against the advice of experts and lowered interest rates during good economic times? Then covid hit and we could have used that economic tool to help the economy? We remember.

Every damn time a republican is in office something horrible happens to the economy and a dem has to clean up the mess.

Next thread by @PlanetJosh or @GettyRoad

Why is Biden waging a war on oil?

Then 150 people chime in and remind those two that the US is the #1 oil producing country in the world and Biden isn't responsible for higher gas prices.

You said they appear to be in Biden’s camp. If they weren’t what would they be doing differently?

You've already been given serious answers. I'll try again. The fed raises interest rates. The fed lowers interest rates. The fed raises interest rates. The fed lowers interest rates. Since 1913, and before that, as the Central Bank, which started in 1791. Why do they raise interest rates? To curb inflation. Why do they then lower them back? Because inflation has gone down, and now they want to encourage economic growth. Since literally 1791. Now why is it suddenly a political move to help Biden?
