Going into an EASING CYCLE, this represents the CRUX of Powell’s dilemma:

1. RAISE RATES TOO MUCH: the BEAR eats him and the US economy crashes.
2. LOWER RATES TOO MUCH: the TIGER eats him and the US economy crashes.
3. BEGIN QUANTITATIVE EASING AGAIN: the tiger eats him and the US economy crashes.
4. CONTINUED US GOVERNMENT KEYNESIAN BINGE: the tiger eats him and the US economy crashes.
5. HUGE TRUMP TARIFFS: TIGER gets HOT for TEACHER, eats Powell, then Trump.

This is the HOTEL CALIFORNIA for that FED-BUCK FUCK.

(sorry Powell)

And perhaps that’s the crucial issue: what moves are left for Powell or the US treasury or US government, other than hoping the US GDP triples in the next few years … how will that happen?

• AI
• Crypto
• Quantum Computers
• Fusion Energy
• Fission Energy Renaissance
• Space Travel
• Biotech
• Cheap temperature tolerant synthetic super-conduction
• Massive discovery of OIL off the coast of Uranus …
• Radically lowering trade barriers and internal regulations on trade
• Allowing the free market of money, all things people want to consider money: and this gives the FED time to EASE out of that business
• Get rid of the IRS
• END all the wars, bring the troops home
• Other stuff?

You really need to believe in pixie dust bullshit at this point if you think EASING ends any other way but RAPID hyper-inflation … or nova-flation … blast out … explosion.

As I’ve said: your 401K might keep growing longer than there’s food at the grocery store.

Or maybe it will be WW3: but brother, we’re not there yet … it will take a BIG EVENT to galvanize the poors and get them riled up to kill some folks (poors) in another country.
