Don’t Let the Fed Light Another Match—The Last Thing We Need Is a Rate Cut

EDITOR'S NOTES

The Fed’s gearing up to light another fire under the inflation dumpster. Trump’s economic goons and Wall Street’s cartel of asset hoarders are frothing at the mouth for cheaper debt and another fake boom to inflate their bottom lines. But guess who eats the fallout? You. Me. Every working-class American who can’t afford a $900,000 starter home or another 15% grocery hike. If the Fed cuts rates now, they’ll be willfully loosening into inflation—a move so reckless it makes 2008 look like a warm-up act. This is the crossroads: pop the bubble and restore reality—or keep feeding the monster and let it devour what’s left of the middle class. Read on, stay alert, and download Seven Steps to Protect Yourself from Bank Failure by Bill Brocius before they hit the kill switch.

Wall Street and Washington Are Teaming Up—Again

The pressure’s on Jerome Powell, and not the kind that comes from moral responsibility or economic stewardship. No, this pressure is from high above—from Wall Street’s skyscraper boardrooms and the Oval Office itself, both demanding another hit of monetary heroin. These are the same power players who have been pumping for easy money policies since the 1980s, ever since the Greenspan Put made market failure illegal.

Now they want Powell to cave again. Their demand is clear: lower interest rates, flood the markets, and keep the S&P juiced for another cycle of asset inflation. The pretense? That it’ll help employment. The truth? They don’t give a damn about your job. They want number-go-up economics to keep them rich and the rest of us chasing shadows.

Low Rates = Free Money for the Rich, Misery for the Rest

Let’s not sugarcoat this: low interest rates are welfare for the wealthy. When rates drop, asset prices rise—stocks, real estate, luxury goods. If you already own a pile of those, congrats, you’re richer. But if you’re a first-time buyer or a renter barely staying afloat, you get priced out even harder. Housing, once the bedrock of American stability, has become a speculative racket thanks to decades of artificially cheap money.

Since the late '80s, every Fed intervention has poured more gasoline on this fire. Hedge funds thrive. Investment bankers rake in bonuses. Meanwhile, families are pushed into 40-year mortgages just to live an hour outside of town. If you’re not furious, you’re not paying attention.

They Want to Loosen Into Inflation—Read That Again

Now, in 2025, the inflationists want Powell to loosen into inflation. That means printing even more dollars at a time when prices are already climbing. Sounds insane, right? It is. But it’s not stupidity—it’s strategy. They want more liquidity, not for the economy, but to keep asset bubbles inflating. They know the minute the market’s weaned off the Fed’s bottle, the whole thing crashes down.

Let’s be clear: CPI and PPI are rising fast. The Producer Price Index rose 0.9% in July alone, the biggest spike since March 2022. Consumer prices are also up—2.7% YoY, and rising for four months straight. Gold, crypto, even food staples—they’re all surging. This is not a liquidity crisis. This is a flood. And they want to open the dam wider.

Jerome Powell Isn’t a Hard Money Guy—He’s Just Scared

Don’t let Powell’s rhetoric fool you. His claim that current Fed policy is “restrictive” is laughable. The man is an inflationist in a suit. What he fears isn’t economic collapse—it’s losing control. Powell knows damn well that another wave of 2022-style inflation will cripple the Fed’s credibility, maybe for good. He’s trying to thread a needle that doesn’t exist: keeping the markets happy without blowing up the dollar.

But his margin for error is gone. Americans are already being crushed under the weight of 25% cumulative inflation over the last five years. Wages haven’t kept up. Savings are gone. And the Fed still pretends it has the tools to “guide the economy” like a shepherd with a broken staff.

Let the Bubble Pop—We Need the Pain Before the Healing

So what should the Fed do? Nothing. Let the markets set the damn rates. Let the false signals of manipulated interest vanish into the abyss where they belong. Yes, the bubbles will pop. Yes, Wall Street will scream. Yes, there will be pain. But it’s the pain of detox, not death.

Letting interest rates rise naturally would finally allow people to buy homes at non-bubble prices, to invest in real, productive industries—not speculative nonsense designed to pad shareholder returns. We’ve lived through 15 years of quantitative easing, and over a decade of near-zero interest rates. What did it get us? A fake recovery, record inequality, and a nation built on debt.

The Enemy Coalition: Trump, Wall Street, and the Fed Cartel

Make no mistake—any attempt to stop the inflation machine will be met with coordinated resistance. Trump’s economic team is already banging the table for more cuts. Wall Street wants more cheap money to gamble with. And the Fed itself? It’s too entrenched, too politically compromised to tell them “no.”

They’ll fearmonger about unemployment. They’ll cry about “economic disruption.” But they won’t tell you the truth: that continued manipulation will destroy what’s left of the middle class and cement a two-tier society where the rich play Monopoly and the rest of us beg for scraps.

Act Before They Do: Protect Yourself from What’s Coming

We don’t get many chances to act before the storm hits. This is one of them. The next rate cut—if it comes—won’t just be a policy shift. It’ll be a declaration of war on your financial future.
