    Another coincidence? A Change in strategy? OR JUST PURE SAME OLD NASTY POLITICS TO MAKE A DEMOCRAT PRESIDENT LOOK BAD?
    trump pressured the Fed to lower rates, and they jumped right on it. Obviously just a coincidence

    Remember when Trump asked the Fed Chairman for a negative interest rate?

    And the Fed had to tell the president, "No Sir, we can't be giving our money away to banks and paying them to take it Mr. President"!

    What Republicans forget is we have twice as many open positions as unemployed people.
    Daniel Patrick Moynihan said it best, "You are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts."
    Paul Begala, "Politics is show business for ugly people."
    Stephen Colbert, "Reality has a well known liberal bias."
    trump is a child rapist. We all know it.
