Opinion First Thing: Trump says he is firing Fed governor Lisa Cook in escalating attack on bank’s independence

[Rod1]

Why don’t we make up strawmen to have arguments

Wait, you think when people say "printing money" they mean literally printing money?

Wait, you think when people say "printing money" they mean literally printing money?

So to be clear
Trump should do something so people can buy houses
He just shouldn’t do the only thing that would help in the short or long term

Looking like that's what he, uh, thinks

The one thing that would help bring housing costs lower is undermining the independence of the Fed? You don't think, idk, making it easier to build more housing might help?

Strawman bad.

People can’t afford houses but I know o know they’re all fascists with their wanting to live indoors

Strawman good.

You think the federal govt controls local zoning

"Why don't we print more money, then people can buy more houses"

lol... Democrat Policy 101

Just spend more...

Harris to propose up to $25K in down-payment support for 1st-time homebuyers

It's part of her economic agenda she will unveil Friday, her campaign says.

You know... A policy created by retards who have zero understanding how the economy works or inflation

Who gives a fuck about the debt? Right? Balancing the budget? That's for the plebeians in the private sector...

Future bond collapse? That's for some other future jackasses to worry about when we're dead... Hopefully we'll be dead. Don't worry that the US Credit was recently downgraded

(FYI - California's credit rating is AA-... lol)


Future generations are going to curse all of us worse than how Millennials curse Boomers now...

Whatever... Just be like a Union Worker

Not my job, not my problem

The very same people who said that Trump's crimes weren't real crimes and thus shouldn't be punished about it.

Whether she is guilty or not, this isn't about Trump wanting justice, but Trump wanting to take control of the Fed which is a big ass red flag, this is like the first step towards REAL socialism.

And the very same people, including yourself, all insisted that it's very serious and "nobody's above the law", so we're playing by your rules now, and now suddenly it's "whoa whoa whoa, we just said that because it was Trump being sued and prosecuted, obviously democrats should be above the law". Sorry, doesn't work like that.

Man, then all the lefties who've been screaming that socialism in the solution to all their problems should be fully on board, right? I went ahead and make a comprehensive list of all the pro socialism lefties who support this "REAL socialism".

Printing money isn't going to make people be able buy houses it will just make houses more expensive

Nice fanfic you got going on there bud

but

1.- I never supported going after Trump for minor crimes, just the big crimes.

2.- This woman has yet to be convicted, if she is convicted and has to go to jail then yeah fire her.

She hasn't even been charged with anything, lol. Trump's a convicted fucking criminal. These guys have their heads entirely up Trump's ass.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/har...port-1st-time- homeowners/story?id=112877568

would provide working families who have paid their rent on time for two years and are buying their first home up to $25,000 in down-payment assistance, with more generous support for first-generation homeowners.

This isn't creating money out of thin air unlike bank loans.

All credit downgrades have been issued for debt ceilings shenanigans

You think the federal govt controls local zoning

If there are 1,000 houses and 2,000 people want to buy a house, there is no magical monetary, fiscal or anything policy that would make 2,000 people be "able to afford a house" until more house units have been built.

Be it either Dems giving away tax money or Reps going full socialists and printing money.

 

[Mr Holmes]

At least you have a degree in economics and can understand the function of interest rates. Some people would just have it always set to zero because that's what Trump wants. And if there's one thing we can be certain of is that Trump isn't thinking of himself he's truly concerned about the average citizen.

Is that 1st sentence a joke?

Unfortunately, this is reason enough for many on the left who are against Cook being held accountable.

Did she commit fraud? Show us the conviction. Hell, show us the charges. I know Trump has committed fraud, multiple times. Criminal, civil, you name it! We're just believing him, tho. Because not a cult, obviously.

Because you can be convicted of a crime within couple of days? Let's pretend you actually care. We know you don't, but just pretend. You tell me if you think she committed mortgage fraud. Set your TDS ramblings aside for a minute.

So, do you think Cook should be held accountable or no?
