Federal reserve chairman Jerome Powell raised interest rates .25% on Wednesday in a very week attempt to slow down the record inflation hitting the country.
This was one of the few interest rate hikes during a democrat administration. The Fed typically raises rates only for Republican presidents. The inflation rate under Joe Biden has reached 40 year highs in recent months. This minimal interest rate hike will do nothing to slow down the runaway inflation.
Powell said the US inflation rate will take longer than expected to reach the 2% goal.
TRENDING: EXCLUSIVE… Aaron Babbitt: ‘We Will Drag Our Bloody Stumps Across The Ground Before We Stop Fighting For Ashli’ As we reported earlier — Under Bush and Trump, the Fed increased rates numerous times . Their rate increases in 2006 and 2007 helped exacerbate the 2007 housing bubble crash. Their increases in rates under President Trump almost killed the economy in 2018, the strongest economy in US history. The rates for Obama and Biden have been at zero for all their time in office with the exception of 2016, when the Fed increased the rates a quarter of a percent. Under President Trump, the Fed increased rates eight times before moving back to zero during the COVID crisis in 2020. They have remained at zero ever since.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
