Need help with another economic analysis you stumbled upon online and don't understand, wtf?

Just ask for help! It's ok!

The author says the reason negative interest rates haven't emerged in the US is because our economy is healthy.

We're not stagnating like Europe, whose dirigiste anti-growth policies the dim-retards want us to emulate.

Get it now?


Federal Reserve officials have downplayed the potential for negative rates in the U.S.

“That's not a tool we're looking at,” Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Tuesday during a congressional hearing.

According to that logic lustyArtLaffer China is twice as healthy as our economy.

Why is Trump calling for negative rates and more QE?

Are you still listening to your boy Stephen Moore for economic advice?

Doesn't your mentor Art Laffer teach you anything?

the reason negative rates haven't emerged, is because they destroy an economy.. very low rates harm an economy. the Fed has played the "lower rates" card as much as it can already.

The Fascist DPST's would like to attribute the economy to their Stalinist efforts - and have tried to attribute to Obama's controlled economy.

Given their socialist Druthers - they will make a Venezuela of Amerika in under 4 years.

P.S. Lustylad wasn't a fan of odumbo's QE. He cheered when it ended in 2014.

nope.. you read into the statement. he said a recession would lead to negative rates, but not being in a recession doesn't mean the economy is strong.. unless you think 2.1% growth is strong.

Obama's economic record was stronger for his first 4 years, than Trump's has been. Trump talks his achievement up, but it hasn't been that good. the tax cuts temporarily drove up profits, couple that with absurdly low interest rates, and you'll get a good stock market for a time.. yield chasers. but it has an expiration date looming.

He thinks lower rates stimulate a weak economy while you claim they "destroy" it...

Please confer with wtf and make up your fucking minds which argument you want to run with, ok?
