America faces a perfect storm: $37 trillion in debt, soaring deficits, and a housing crisis shutting out most families. Powell's stubborn high rates have strangled growth, risked deflation, and sabotaged the private-sector transition the country desperately needs. Trump's push for cuts isn't reckless — it's essential to avoid a depression and secure America's economic future.
The current Fed debate over Powell proves the myth of Fed "independence." The Fed has always served big banks and Washington — propping up elites, bailing out failures, and rubber-stamping mergers — while squeezing ordinary Americans. Powell's fight isn't about integrity; it's about keeping Wall Street's interests above Main Street's.
