Warsh can vote for Trump’s interest rate cuts all he likes to keep himself out of jail or whatever else awaits him if he doesn’t do his bidding. The committee has eleven other people who will not vote for cuts in the current environment. This PPI print is scary.

Right wing economists spend 3 years castigating Biden for inflation he didn't cause. They are all curiously silent these days.

The stock market is at all time highs. As long as the AI bubble keeps bubbling, politicians and policymakers don’t care. Affordability issues are far the little people that depend on a paycheck. And they clearly don’t matter to Washington. The government will do everything to keep levitating the markets. Trump said himself he doesn’t give a damn about the financial situation of the majority of Americans. Only a decline in markets gets their attention, because that’s where the rich have their wealth.

Things are on the verge of falling off a cliff. Americans by and large can’t absorb these rising costs.
