Powell is willing to crash the economy by not lowering rates even though he obviously needs to, in order to screw over Trump. He also has a religious belief in tariffs, and he wants to "prove" they don't work by crashing the economy, even though all that's needed is some lower rates since inflation is under control

Powell managed a soft landing and then watched Trump immediately implement the stupidest economic policy of the past 95 years and then turn to Powell for "help" while also attacking and insulting him. Can't really blame him for not giving a shit

The IMF just raised its inflation forecast for the global economy in light of the tariffs. inflation is still above the fed target and could go higher. hard to argue that the case for cutting rates is clear.

What is the argument for lower rates?

It reduces the costs of borrowing so companies maintain their 2024 margins but also still pass tariff prices onto consumer. It does nothing to cool down tariff related inflation.

There is no tariff related inflation. Raising taxes does not create inflation--taxes slow down the economy.

Do you think that raising income taxes raises prices, too, because you have to pay workers more to let them have the same after-tax pay? Do you think increasing sales taxes also increases inflation?

IMF disagrees at least for the near future. Also while increases in personal income tax lowers inflation expectations other tax increases (corporate, sales) do not.
