On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve raised the central bank interest rate by 0.75% as it more aggressively fights rising costs to consumers.
NBC News reports:
On Wednesday, the central bank announced a rate increase of 0.75% — a sign it is acting more aggressively to fight rising consumer prices. It’s the first time since 1994 that the Fed raises the rate by that much.
The consumer price index, a key measure of inflation, came in at 8.6% on a year-on-year basis — hotter than expected last week. That triggered volatility in the stock market early this week. Notably, food price increases are hitting 40-year highs, while gas prices are also at a record-high. The higher-than-expected inflation reading jostled markets early in the week. On Monday, the S&P 500 officially entered bear market territory.
Market watchers say the Federal Reserve is trying to thread the needle of cooling off inflation while not tanking the broader economy.
“Chairman Jerome Powell and his colleagues are walking a monetary policy tightrope hoping to avoid a recession while dampening demand,” said Mark Hamrick, senior economic analyst at Bankrate in a note.
Yeah, and it’s all Putin’s fault (sarc).

( Patriotic post .com} Former White House doctor Ronny Jackson has called for President Joe Biden to undergo a cognitive test, citing his shocking performances with the press. Everybody is stupid except joe biden, and of course the smartest man he ever met, was hunter biden, the corrupt fantasies of joe biden’s world of criminally insane BS. The biden crime family should be forced to return all the money they have accepted from Russia and China. Pay to play is a crime against the the United States when they broke their oath trust when sworn into office. Why keep them in power? look what they still have accomplished for China and Russia and nothing for the United States or America.
If the obiden administration were serious about inflation the fed would suspend the federal gas tax. But of course we know the difference between a democrat and a whore.
Please let’s send Joe packing. If not we all will be packing whatever we have left and head to nowhere. It may be the poorhouse. God forbid
We are getting what we deserve.
REPENT AMERICA! Stop murdering God’s children. Stop trying to change boys into girls and girls into boys. Stop worshiping every imaginable “god” while persecuting Christ – before it becomes too late, if it is not already . . .
God Please get rid of the democrats and The leadership in DC. Like you punished the wicked Israelites in the Old Testament. Punish the wicked democrats they will never obey your laws never stop lying and never repent,
The Fed protected Democrats and their anti-economic policies, keeping the economy afloat and causing the inflation. Now it’s protecting those same Democrats from the political fallout from the inflation they caused. The loser, both times? US citizens that know that the Federal government should leave them alone and not overreact to every temporary concern.
