FED RATE HIKE?

Submitted by Admin on

Will the Federal Reserve raise interest rates for the third time in a couple of years?

The Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates for the first time this year and the third time since December 2015 when the central bank began moving rates up from near-zero.

While a rate increase is virtually certain, economists will be looking to see whether officials bump up their forecasts for hikes over the next couple of years now that inflation and business confidence are picking up.

PROSECUTOR WHO REFUSED TO QUIT

The departure of Preet Bharara from the U.S. Attorney's office reminds me of another similar situation back in 1969.

Robert Morgenthau was the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District, appointed originally by his friend, President Jack Kennedy. When Richard Nixon became president, although he had the power to replace Morgenthau, the feder...al prosecutor said he wouldn't leave. And Nixon didn't challenge him at first.

Who Wants Repeal and Replace?

Reality TV celebrity Donald Trump who hosted “The Apprentice”, coined a signature line for dismissing unworthy aspirants. Every time he let somebody go and said "You're Fired!", Trump offered these biting words of critique. I don’t want somebody running one of my companies who is going to be beaten up so badly, he told another contestant. You’ve been lazy, others heard the following, you’ve been nothing but trouble. Karma sure has an interesting way of biting back.

Perhaps we should be recommending everyone to lighten up while referring to the above graphics.

Fascists believe that liberal democracy has become obsolete and require the complete mobilization of society under a totalitarian one-party state as necessary to prepare their nation for armed conflict by responding to economic difficulties.

The authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization is an extreme, right-wing, authoritarian, or intolerant practice.
