Its so obvious the fed needs to raise rates or its going to get worst for our economy. Our treasuries are no longer an attractive investment to foreign buyers until this clown in the White House is gone. From my basic financial experience and classes I took in economies in college its so obvious he has no friggin clue.

(63,221 posts)I would bet my life's savings on it. He has no fucking clue what he is doing. He thinks this is all a big game where you try to bluff/intimidate all the other players, however this time he's not using his own money (or debt) he is using the US economy and he doesn't care if his gambles don't pay off. After all, it's not coming out of his pocket.
Will someone please impeach this motherfucker already?
