as a foreigner, can you please elaborate what do you mean by corrupt and demons? how is the goverment corrupt? i mean, a private company (FED) has to give testimony to a govermental instutute, this is the opposite of corruption.
Relatively free. You can criticize the government and the leaders directly. Try criticizing the heads of state in Iran, Russia or China in any serious way.

Oh they have, usually two years after rate hike things tend to go extremely bad . Business, banks, and leverage people have to refinance eventually, and the can't afford the new rate. (You close said business)
Great job. Only 3 statistics I’d add are that we lost 1.5M jobs year-over-year, most of jobs added are part time jobs, inflation has gone up 22.5% in 3 years exceeding wage growth.
FED needs to reset the market...the ones who lived responsibly to this point will have once in a life time opportunity to buy cheap assets and gain financial freedom, other not so much since they will go broke, and will lose every thing. Inflation will come down, prices will stabilize and economy will get healtier, it is economic cycle since first industrial revolution, but before that there will be pain. Great investor Warren Buffet says, "Only when the tide goes out do you learn who has been swimming naked". Free money is no more, now its time for cash pile.
So inflation has nothing to do with a decrease in currency value, only imbalance of supply versus demand? Very disingenuous. Unless of course you consider our fiat dollar as a commodity that can be supplied and demanded. Like the money they loan out to banks on a daily basis
Fascism is the top# 1 problem that triggers inflation!! If they didn't need the loans to create jobs, THEY SHOULD REFUND and say THANKS JOE, WE ARE FINE WITHOUT THAT MANY CASH FOR 5% INTEREST GIFT From TAXPAYERS
The monetary system has evolved since 1690, not by natural forces; but rather by the designs of bankers, who profit by their manipulations. Therefore, what you are experiencing today is not what it was in 1940, or in 1900 or in 1860 etc. It is important to keep this in mind, that the currency system is still in a state of flux, and ever further manipulated to advantage the banker and politician, and disadvantage further (steal from ) the ignorant common people (99.9%, ) but we the people dont understand this, or the extent to which monetary practices have evolved to steal from us, because in our minds we work for money, our parents worked for money and so did our grandparents, so isn't it all pretty much the same with a little bit of inflation ? Hell no ! There have been massive machinations and manipulations designed to harvest your work and energy to the advantage and privilege of a few. And because monetary principles are abstracts that cannot be seen with our eyes, they require mental effort to get our heads around. They are in fact, a completely separate topic to practical daily living, yet they effect our daily life totally. The first principle to understand is that you have been robbed of real money by successive bankers, because the whole idea of 'Money ' is to hold something of real value as your own property, and to receive something of real value for your labour and productivity. But you get nothing, you get zero of value. You get paper, or plastic or electrons for your work and efforts, and these, having no fixed intrinsic value weight or measure, can therefore be manipulated and devalued before you even believe you have it, and faster than you can accumulate it. Devaluation through inflation is the insidious tax your vote or will has NO power to address; the banker alone retains that privilege, and uses it to rob you every second of every year, night and day. You have been hood winked by slight of hand and mind into accepting a constantly devaluing IOU for nothing, all at the point of a gun, because 'legal currency ' means, you shall accept this degrading note alone for your labour, or the armed sheriffs will pay you a visit, and commit further theft and violence upon you, as the state retains to itself the Exclusive franchise to exercise violence. When the State does violence, that's OK. Your forefathers were paid in real money, Gold and Silver, but the bankers were limited in what they could loan out by metalic money, so they sought to do away with it, and they invented the promissory note, the 'bank note' which promised to be redeemable for a Silver or Gold coin. They did this to remove the natural restriction on what they could loan out, because new debt at interest is their primary tool of harvest. Then, gradually, they removed the metal altogether, telling you it was for your own good, because now you could have a booming economy and more commerce, and no limitation on how many hours both you and your partner could work . (The 'full employment' mandate simply means you all shall work all of the time until you die, but in the 1700s 6 months work would keep you alive all year if you owned your land. ) Once they had the Exclusive note printing power, they went to town, printing any amount their bought servants in government wanted, creating the national debt, whereby an unborn child is born in servitude and serfdom to an now $100,000 to $ 150,000 debt to who ? That would be the share holders of the Federal Reserve if you live in the United States, or the Central Bank in your country, and also the large private banks, for once government abrogated the currency creation power to both the Central and large private banks, they must then go cap in hand to the banks to build new public infrastructure. So now every county, state and nation has indebted their ' citizens' in totally unpayable debts to the currency creators. Meanwhile after Bretton Woods the Federal Reserve sent its agents around the world to ensure that all Central banks were created in its own image, doing exactly what it does, so no one shows them up, even though quite a few Central banks are not privately owned like the Federal Reserve is, yet they still create ALL new Currency as Debt which indebts you, your children and grandchildren forever. That is a small taste on the first faulty monetary principle and that's before we talk about the unpayable interest on the new worthless currency that they create for zero cost. There are 4 faulty monetary principles in practice that ensure 99.9% will live in servitude to the .1% Unless you educate yourself and then teach your children and grandchildren, you will remain enslaved, 70% of your work goes to the bankers and bureaucrats.
If you remove the political posturing from Kennedy's point, translation is that America has become a bureaucratic cesspool almost entirely reliant on government free money
Kennedy said the silent part out loud, which is that it's all about feelings. The U.S. is by far the country that came out of COVID with the best economic results compared to ALL other developed countries. ALL other developed countries are in a worse spot compared to the U.S. Does that mean people have to feel good about the economy? Of course not. But that doesn't change that fact that the current administration and Fed navigated the widely expected pandemic and post-pandemic recession/market crash like an absolute champ.
The public has themselves to blame for this. They voted in the people that spent all that money putting the government in terrible debt. The Fed chairman didn't vote on any appropriation bills in Congress. The whole Fed scapegoating is really foolish. The public simply doesn't want to come to terms with the fact that for decades we voted in people that we expected to vote for bills that would allocate money back to us. Now we are reaping the results.
I lived in Japan more than 10 years ago and just recently went back to visit. Back then I could get a delicious bowl of ramen for 1000 yen, and surprisingly I could still get the same bowl of ramen for the exact same price! Americans are being screwed by the Fed and for having the "world's reserve currency" and most people don't even realize it.
Labor market is still going strong ? Where exactly ? Who is hiring seriously? All those jobs on LinkedIn are fake. Also I don’t want to go from a tech employee to flipping burgers and call it a job.
Powell is 100% right when he says that inflation is down to the imbalance between supply and demand. What needs to be added to this is that the supply is regarding the currency and the demand relates to the goods and services that change hands using that currency. Up the volume of currency and the goods and services change hands for higher levels of currency. So why did he and his colleagues think it was a good idea, as part of the plandemic, to increase the currency by 40%? How did they think that might play-out?
Lol, such questions are softballs, nothing hard hitting here. Private sector employment is in the toilet, inflation due to massive government deficit spending into the economy, huge trade deficits, bogus 2% inflation target etc. Powell should be questioned by someone that can ask tough monetary and economic questions. The Fed's market manipulation and interventions are a form of central planning, the Fed should be abolished.
Note that many of the jobs went to illegals and many folks are having to work multiple jobs. Meaning that the economy is bad and not good for the nation. We have ample evidence that states are bleeding out by having to care for the mass influx of illegals. Add, the fact that we are giving money to other nations and dismissing college debt.
US senators should stop wasting valuable time in this kind of analysis paralysis and focus on real action in the economy. What's the point of asking questions when those questioned are never punished for their negligence, wrongdoing, or plain ignorance.
Even if you lower interest rates to mere fractions above zero, what's the point -- at this stage of an over-indebted nation -- of more indebtedness for any sector of our society? Isn't it time to wipe the slate clean, discharge everyone's debt, and start with a tabula rasa? Let's be honest in order that future generations do not laugh at us!
The root of all evil: politicians being financially illiterate, while a private central bank takes advantage of a country’s ignorance. Its mind boggling how our politicians look so stupid begging the central bank.
the bih that went up after him was delusional. she was trying to talk about what we're doing right and how good the people are. bih all we care about is the state of economy. the price is just too high
Could we please get an economist or accountant or someone other than a lawyer to chair the Federal Reserve? Boog Powell is a lawyer, and I question how much he knows about inflation, the money supply, and economics in general. He is more of a political hack than an economist. An imbalance between supply and demand does not cause inflation. It’s a symptom of inflation caused by too many dollars chasing too few goods and services. We can do better than Mr. Powell. Much better.
You just want someone who agrees with you. The Supreme Court just eradicated all the professional expertise in all executive agencies in favor of them deciding, in a decision where Gorsuch repeatedly refers to "nitrous oxide" as a source of global warming. Nitrous oxide is laughing gas used by dentists, and does not cause global warming. But you are not outraged by this because it is a MAGA court issuing MAGA culture war rulings. If you were at all consistent in your ideology that we should respect expertise in government then you would be more outraged with the MAGA Supreme Court than you would the chairman of the federal reserve not being an "accountant,' who are just pencil pushers who do basic arithmetic and have ABSOLUTELY NO QUALIFICATIONS to run the federal reserve. My god.
My niece applies to several jobs every day. She hasn’t gotten one job offer for a whole year! Companies say they’re looking for someone but they’re lying they really aren’t. Everything’s been made up to look like the governments improved, but it really hasn’t. Most statistics are a lie.
The U.S. economy can actually get better if only the govt can start making better decisions for the sake of it's citizens, cos' they've really made life more difficult for its residents.

ngl that was quite funny
feel, the reality is most people are hurting and it is getting worse!
People don't feel better off because they aren't! They are worse off and it's going to continue.
The elites are better off today, just not the poor hard-working taxpayers..
So what you're saying is it's according to plan.
The politicians like to try to hold the fed accountable yet they’re the ones who passed budgets in a deficit…
why do people call them elites? it's like putting them on a pedestal.
So don’t be a poor hard working tax payer. Play the game accordingly

Government spending is the reason. Not the Federal Reserve.
High Priest Jerome Powell speaks to the peons.
John Kennedy is right government creating jobs to make it appear that unemployment is not as bad as it really is
Kennedy to an outsider appears to be a hilly billy but he is a genius.
He was Secretary of Revenue for 3 years and butted heads with the governor who appointed him continuously. He was State Treasurer and always butted heads with the governor and legislature. He had the crazy idea that his job was improving the finances of Louisiana not politics and going along with the status quo . Saved Louisiana billions of dollars.

My niece applies to several jobs every day. She hasn’t gotten one job offer for a whole year! Companies say they’re looking for someone but they’re lying they really aren’t. Everything’s been made up to look like the governments improved, but it really hasn’t. Most statistics are a lie.
