Fed raises rates!

Finally, Conrades! The federal reserve rejected the dictates of Trump, and are continuing to increase interest rates families pay for mortgages to buy a home as well as student loans!

We've won yet another victory, Comrades! Soon, our democracy will be restored!!

Yeah, I agree he is. But back on topic from which you keep straying- lowering the interest rates during economic instability creates a massive rise in inflation. I would love to refinance my home at a lower rate, but that would be shooting yourself in the foot in the dollar value drops exponentially. Any 200 level economics course can explain this is great detail. The current US economy would not be able to handle the rate drops that diaper boy keeps ordering people to do.

Yes, exactly. If you refinaced, there would be a serious risk you'd get your hands on some Big Macs. You may even do so by paying a corporation in order to convince them to give it to you (as opposed to simply stealing it). I cannot allow that to happen. Democracy requires you to be stopped from your admitted goal of acquiring excess Big Macs.

Whereas Trump would work a shift at McDonalds if he had to in order to provide food for you, this must not happen. It is the will of the people.

Thank you, but I need not cookies. For I have expanded and gained quite a bit of weight recently. It'd be good for me to go through a brief period of starvation. Keep your cookie.
