“Someone Has to Pay”: Powell's Tariff Clock Is Ticking
The Fed’s Divided House of Cards
Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell stepped up to the mic today, exuding his usual “everything’s under control” vibe. But beneath the bland veneer, the Fed is clearly flying blind in a storm of its own making. Powell says the "economic uncertainty has receded"—translation: the smoke from the last fire is clearing, just in time to spark a new one.
The Fed’s latest projections reveal a house divided. Ten officials are gunning for at least two rate cuts by year’s end, while a nearly equal number are holding the line—no cuts at all. Powell himself admitted it’s all basically guesswork: “No one holds these rate paths with a lot of conviction.”
Tariffs: The Hidden Tax on the People
So what’s the big variable? Tariffs. That’s right—Trump-era trade bombs are back on the radar, and this time they’re not just political poker chips. They're economic landmines. Powell, in a moment of raw honesty, said it flat out:
“Everyone that I know is forecasting a meaningful increase in inflation in coming months from tariffs, because someone has to pay for the tariffs.”
No kidding, Jerome. And he didn’t stop there:
“People will be trying not to be the ones who pick up the cost. But ultimately the cost of the tariff has to be paid and some of it will fall on the end consumer.”
You hear that? That’s the sound of your grocery bill going up again. That’s the cost of empire—hidden in the price tag of your daily life.
2025: The Year the Mask Slips
The Fed’s own projections are quietly screaming what Powell won’t say out loud: they're bracing for a 2025 riddled with higher inflation, rising unemployment, and sluggish growth. Translation: a pressure cooker calibrated to pop right after the next election cycle.
And yet, Powell says the current economy looks “solid.” Sure, on paper. But the writing on the wall is in ink, not pencil: the cartel of central planners is buying time while they shift the goalposts.
Controlled Decline, Engineered Dependence
This isn’t economic mismanagement. It’s managed decline. Powell and his banker class know exactly what they’re doing—keeping you just solvent enough not to revolt, but squeezed enough to stay dependent on their rigged system.
The price of tariffs? Inflation. The price of inflation? Your autonomy. And remember—when they say “someone has to pay,” they mean you.
