Fed Cuts Rates Again — And a Total Overhaul May Be Next

📉 Another Rate Cut — While Inflation Remains High

The Federal Reserve announced its third consecutive interest rate cut today, dropping the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to a new range of 3.5% to 3.75%.

This move—coming even as inflation remains above the Fed’s 2% target—reveals growing concern over the weakening labor market and the uncertainty gripping the broader economy.

Chair Jerome Powell tried to downplay the risk, calling this “further normalization” of policy. But make no mistake: when you’re cutting rates while inflation is still hot, you are signaling that underlying economic stability is breaking down.

“Risks to inflation are tilted to the upside and risks to employment to the downside – a challenging situation,” Powell said.

Let that sink in. The Fed is navigating a minefield where jobs are disappearing, but prices aren’t falling. That’s stagflation territory, and history shows it rarely ends well.

⚠️ Three Dissenters and a Fractured Fed

Even within the Fed itself, cracks are forming.

Today’s decision saw three top officials dissent:

• Two regional Fed presidents (Chicago and Kansas City) opposed the cut, preferring to hold rates steady.
• Governor Stephen Miran dissented in favor of a larger 50-basis-point cut, signaling fear that even more easing may be needed soon.

A central bank with this much internal division is not one that inspires confidence. And with the economy looking increasingly unstable, that disunity could lead to policy paralysis at the worst possible time.

🧨 Hassett's Fed Overhaul: A New Kind of Risk

Now add this to the mix: Kevin Hassett, a former Trump economic advisor and current frontrunner to replace Jerome Powell as Fed chair, has made it clear that if he’s appointed, the Fed is getting gutted.

In an interview this week, Hassett stated he would:

• Review and possibly cut entire research divisions

• Replace key personnel, including regional presidents
• Re-evaluate how monetary policy is formed

• Shift the Fed away from political commentary (such as on tariffs or climate)

His vision is for a Fed that is “nonpartisan” and “data-driven”—but let’s be honest: no Fed chair is ever truly neutral, especially one appointed by a president with a historic distrust of the central bank.

If confirmed, Hassett could initiate the most radical overhaul of the Fed in modern history, just as the global financial system teeters on the edge.

🧠 Why This Matters for De-Dollarized Readers

Here’s what this all means if you’re serious about protecting your money from systemic risk:

1. Policy Instability Is Now the Norm

Rate cuts used to be reserved for crises. Now, we’re seeing chronic tinkering with monetary policy. That’s a red flag. It suggests the Fed doesn’t have control over the system anymore.

2. Dollar Confidence Is Slipping

When the Fed cuts rates into inflation, it weakens the dollar. When it’s also openly divided and on the verge of leadership chaos, it accelerates the erosion of global trust in U.S. financial institutions.

3. Leadership Transition Could Be Disruptive

If Powell is replaced—potentially by someone who wants to gut and restructure the Fed—markets could see volatility, especially if there are conflicting signals on interest rates, inflation, or employment.

4. More Rate Cuts May Be Coming

Despite today’s move, there’s already pressure for more cuts in early 2026, especially if labor data continues to deteriorate. That means savers lose, debtors win, and those holding fiat dollars are left exposed.

🧭 Final Thoughts: A System Under Siege

The Federal Reserve is cutting rates into inflation, operating with deep internal conflict, and possibly on the verge of a total restructuring. Meanwhile, the economy is showing signs of fragility, and the very institutions tasked with protecting it are faltering.

This is not a drill.
The dollar is at risk.
Confidence is cracking.
And the people who see it early are the ones who will get through it intact.

Stay alert. Stay sovereign. Stay de-dollarized.
