4 out of 5 dentists prefer Crest, and 20% of all dentists think Crest sucks. Which should we believe and how many dentist did it take to get the best ratio?

Nobel Prize Winning economists definitely have more clout than the average economist. They're the best of the best. On the other hand, half of Trump's businesses have gone under and he's personally filed for bankruptcy SIX TIMES. But, yeah, you can accept Trump as an economic expert if you want. Sure. I'll stick with the Nobel Prize Winning economists, though. |

It's a hilariously bad concept with a ton of intended consequences. |

It's a hilariously bad concept with a ton of intended consequences. Wait what? Lets give private wealthy individuals control over the Federal Reserve and let them set the interest rates and how much money they can print/create by using a fractional banking system....oh sh*t, that is what we have! Lets also bail out this Federal Reserve in 1933 by confiscating us citizen's gold by making it illegal so they could devalue the dollar by changing the gold exchange ratio from $20.50 to 30.50. Ya think that might have been a violation of the 14th Amendment's right to own property? Trump saying that interest rates were too high and the President should have rate input pales in comparison to the atrocities of Wilson and FDR. |

I changed my mind, go back to the lame jokes about Willie Brown. This is not your forte. |

The FED is controlled by economists - scientists who study the economy. Scientists. Not privately wealthy individuals. |

Trump doesn't want "input" on rates. He wants to cap them at a rate where it will decrease the number of borrowers that will get approved, leading to less consumer spending, leading to larger consequences down the road.

"A tide of Twitter-based criticism from the White House may be having an impact. President Donald Trump criticized the Fed as “boneheads” for not reducing the Federal Funds target rate further than it has, and singled out Williams for ridicule. In sum, the central bank’s independence is being challenged." by Richard Teitelbaum |

The FED should absolutely, positively remain independent. They should NEVER be under the control of the President. EVER.
The people running the FED know a lot more about economics than the President does. Trump is not economic genius, either. Half of his businesses have failed and he has personally filed for bankruptcy SIX TIMES. He's a financial moron.

NP, everyone makes mistakes. I am a registered Independent, what is your problem with Independents? You post like a MAGA. Not just a Republican, a MAGA, far right Republican. You're not at all independent in your thought process. You're a Trumpupblican Kool-Aid drinker. You buy almost every lie he tells, and those that you don't you just excuse. You excuse all of his ugly actions (rape, sexual assault, trying to have innocent civilian protesters shot, etc), you excuse every ugly thing he says - you're not an independent in all the important ways. You may not be a registered Republican, but in every other way you are totally a Republican - a particularly hard line partisan Republican at that. |
