Where did I get the idea? From Post #3

""Because the economy is not strong, I would not be against them lowering interest rates,""


If it's basic economics why did the Fed do QE 2 & 3 and basically keep rates at zero for over half a decade in a growing economy?

That is different than wanting them lowered, right?

The Fed chief is given a 4-year term to provide separation from politics and pressure. Generally, that room is respected, The chief is usually a trained and respected economist. His mission is to deal with the national economy. With Trump, it is to make him look good in the short term to help his election. Daffy is bulldozing another wall that separates the system from political pressure.
Powell does not serve at the pleasure of the president. Trump cannot fire the Fed chief.

Exactly, that’s why the rates are not at zero. But, look at this thread none of these people want to point that out or admit it, They would rather make up lies about me.
