It is a Federal Reserve Wall Street-orchestrated run on the banks for Republican Socialists in an effort to re-elect The Donald.

It was also half the blank bill George Bush and Hank Paulson submitted in September of 2008 for their Golden Bailout Bucket of Taxpayer Cash.

We all know if Trump does anything, he does it bigly.

Wasn’t this really part of why the Fed was created?

Don't get me started Jon. Student loan debt is 30% the fault of tuition increasing and 70% the fault of people believing they should be allowed to attend any school to which they can be admitted.

Why would that matter?

If you take out a loan you pay it back not everyone else.

I don't support student loan forgiveness but exempting student loans from bankruptcy is BS.

That was Soooo not the point. I agree it's bullshit to not let bankruptcy cover everything.

Startched shirt was combining two separate talking points

I heard an analysis today where the Fed doing stuff right now spooks the markets because they interpret it as thinking it means the Fed thinks the economy is in deep doo doo. Thus the huge drop today after the Fed dropped rates to essentially zero.

We're screwed. It is the same playbook from August of 2007, except the US Surgeon General is now playing 'Baghdad Bob" from 2003 . . .
The law provides for tax rebates to low- and middle-income U.S. taxpayers, tax incentives to stimulate business investment ...
Economic Stimulus Act of 2008
:roll:
Since July, 2019, the Federal Reserve has cut rates 5 times . . .
Historical Actions of the Federal Open Market Committee
:roll:
Quantitative Easing __ Parts One, Two, Three, Four, and Five
Same ol' shiite - 'these purchases have no impact on the balance sheet and sterilized by Treasury sales' . . . until . . . 'there are hundreds of billions of 'unsterilized organic assets' purchased/backed by Treasury securities, and the balance sheet is further expanded '
Treasury yields fall after Fed cuts rates and launches new quantitative easing program
:roll:

The question is . . . will Trump, Mnuchin and Powell survive the next election __ like Bush, Paulson and Bernanke did.

Let’s apply the JSO litmus test, shall we?

If the Fed does it under Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush or Obama.... not worth a long thread..

If the Fed does it under Trump..... OMG STOP IT JUST SAY NO ARMAGEDDON P-FUNK

If there's $1.5T to calm investors, why isn't there $1.5T to erase student debt. Do you know how many people are putting off financial purchases (home, car, vacation, weddings) b/c they have student loans? I agree - if you take a loan you should repay. But that doesn't really matter now that we've injected so much money into a system that rewards risk taking? Food for thought. Discuss.
