Thank Goodness.

A little more balance between the two extremes would go a long way toward a better long term outlook for the economy.

If the US had 2 mill BTC they could simply announce that the Fed is Dead, let Bonds die and run the economy at the higher levels on BTC.

I don’t know if this is a good move. However, I’ve been quite impressed with Scott Bessent’s knowledge and insight in the interviews I’ve watched of him.

You should do the math on this james not belive the hot air that comes out of Washington, the fed isn't just Powell its a board decision. The fed has to be prudent, trump caused the delay in interest rate reductions with his ludicrous fake tariff tirade. I'm surprised you can't see that.

James seems to think that the Fed's purpose is to support the stock market. Ridiculous. The stock market is overvalued by every measure. In fact, low interest rates will make the ensuing crash far worse. The Fed won't be able to lower rates to help right the economy. Long term, low rates are bad: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/most-important-principle-keep-mind-when-thinking-large-ray-dalio-nozze/ but to be fair it might not matter since we are locked in a debt spiral anyway. Replacing Powell will accelerate the spiral though. When the market sees that the Fed is politically controlled, they will demand a higher risk premium (higher rates). Which leads to higher interest payments, more debt to finance those payments, and so on.

100%, if the FED loses credibility, people think the long end of yield curve is high now, they are in for a rude awaking. The whole reason the FED was established was to stop these games from happening over and over.
