  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Trump says lower interest rates would go hand-in-hand with tariffs

President Donald Trump on Wednesday said that interest rates should be lowered and that would go "hand in hand" with his upcoming tariffs, despite economists' expectations that tariffs would fuel inflation and postpone rate cuts.
Trump substantially raised tariffs on steel and aluminum imports on Monday to a flat 25% "without exceptions or exemptions" in a move he hopes will aid struggling industries in the United States, but which also risks sparking a trade war.
"Interest Rates should be lowered, something which would go hand in hand with upcoming Tariffs!!!" Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform.

We see prices rising right now and Trump's tariffs, which will cause more price increases, haven't hit yet. However, Trump, who will tell you he knows more and better than anyone about everything, thinks when prices rise interest rates should be lowered. Which is the complete opposite as how one handles inflation. It's why if he won the 2020 election inflation would have been longer and deeper. I mean after all, the self proclaimed "King of Debt" just hates high rates no matter what. THIS is an interactive site where you can compare world countries inflation rates versus their response with changes with the interest rates. The vast majority of them responded by rising rates as inflation rates rose and inflation rates fell.
