And if a recession is imminent we will need a steady and tactful Fed to steer us through it. So, we are doomed.

God I hate this giggling idiot. Bill Maher had a habit of having him on all the time for awhile and when heās confronted he breaks down and giggles like a more twisted Carter Page.
The guy has no brain whatsoever. this is going to work out great.

Powell is a lightweight, I donāt think he is going to do anything stupidā¦
BTW, I would rank a rate-cut right now as borderline stupidā¦

This is another argument to expand major decision-making boards like the Fed Reserve Board of Govnaās and SCOTUS from 7/9 to 11 or 15. Then, like international sports judging, you throw out the high and low for the mean. In an expanded FRBG or SCOTUS, the outliers are just diluted.
The only saving grace here is the Moore nomination has to get through the Senate. Not impossible to see Moore hang in the Senate despite the GOP majority, as Trumpās previous nominee Nellie Liang just withdrew due to Senate delays (Trumpās other nom still waiting confirm)

Stephen Moore is a fucking moron, so this makes perfect sense in the āperformance artā world of the Trump Reality TV Administration. Trump ALWAYS picks the absolute WORST PERSON POSSIBLE for any job in his Administration.
Every time I have seen Moore on TV (multiple times on Bill Maher) he comes across as an incompetent, clueless, sycophantic boot-licker who only got his PAYING gigs because he knows how to tell wealthy, powerful people exactly what they want to hear.
How this drooling idiot ever got an M.A in Economics from George Mason University is a complete mystery to me.
Shouting others down, talking over others as fast as he possibly can, denying self-evident facts laid out in front of him, and GIGGLING like a Lunatic when cornered by said facts until he segues into another fantasy-world denial of reality, all the while patting himself on the back for how brilliant he is.
Frankly, I think Maher only has him on for the Clown Show he always provides.

Yeah that video was all over the local news last night. He has been charged with assault and a couple of other things.
Yep. I said that myself upthread - he is a giggling moron.

Moore who wanted the tax cut for the .01% that is failing and the yield curve just inverted which has proceeded every depression/recession in 100 years.
Mooreās family detests him , shunning him at holiday get togethers.
Perfect ā¦just like drumpf
Dumb and dumbest ā¦
Moore also has a 5 year old federal tax debtā¦un paidā¦just like drumpf a tax cheat too.

Yep. I donāt want to lose everything we worked for, either.
But I can see where a recession would work on the Democratsā behalf and ultimately be good for the country if it broke the fever.

I hope Moore signals the peak of Trumpism, he might well be the most comical appointment he has made outside of Betsy DeVos (who at least had the decency to buy her seat). All the other grifters at least had demonstrated competence somewhere else, not Moore. Carson was a brain surgeon, Ross a successful, abeit crooked business man, Tillerson, CEO of a major corporation, Mnuchin, a successful producer. But Moore has never been more than a paid-shill for supplyside voodoo with a history of incompetenceā¦

Moore is truly a moron. I agree this appointment is downright comical.

So letās hope for a recession say around next Spring/Summer. Or this coming Fall/Winter. Then letās hope itās mercifully short and weāre all still alive when our portfolios recover.
That works for me.
