>all signs pointed to higher inflation because of tariffs
Is Jerome lying or just stupid ? A tariff would obviously eat up the inflation or have no real impact
He seems dumb

he lowered interest rates right before the election to help biden get elected. he's been politicized, and is rationalizing his policy position on interest rates to benefit the bank lobbys that sponsored his nomination.

honestly, he should be arrested for violation of RICO, along with the bankers he's enriching with his policy positions.

Wrong.
Nothing the FRB does has anything to do with politics and never will, they don't listen to what the president says.
Trump has been calling for *negative* (not just lower) rates since his first term, 2019. Oh except when back in 2015 he criticized Obama's administration for having held rates artificially low for so long.
The 'Fed chair vs. U.S. president' soap opera is a corporate mass media psyop, and has nothing at all to do with how central banks actually operate.

LoL

And, it also has nothing at all to do with macroeconomics. The job of a central bank is to set interest rates. The FRB dgaf about muh economics, muh employment rate, or anything else. Their only goal is to increase dependency of the gov and all citizens upon infinite amounts of debt.
All of the corporate mass media "the FRB is doing X because of ___________ in the economy" = Bullshit.
