...for political effect, but I don't think it was done the way Larry theorized it has.

There's money to be stolen from the tax payers and it's easier to steal when there is a republican in the oval office and in charge of the money. All you have to know is what has happened since the days of saint ronnie when the pillaging started. Every republican president and administration has left us in A RECESSION. Then we have a Democratic administration fix our economic woes just to get another republican to come in and steal some more of our tax money. Have you ever noticed that when recessions happen the republican party doesn't seem to be affected?

is that the oil companies jack up prices before elections if Democrats are in power and drop the prices if Republicans are in power.
If they do it, why not the fed? Probably filled with neocons and I just finished an article in the Sierra Club magazine about how Biden had a moratorium in place on new LPG terminals and limited development in the ANWR and now companies are in a gold rush mentality since Trump got elected. Those 2 things alone are more than enough motivation for some election tampering.

Without rate hikes from the Fed, we would have had four years of double digit inflation, high unemployment, and probably a recession.

Instead we got record low unemployment, record highs in the markets, significant wage gains, and yes, some painful inflation for the first two years of Biden’s term that subsided in 2023, but was somehow kept alive in the minds of the public by the MSM…

Not sure this video qualifies for “Liberal You Tubers”, as it’s not really supporting a Liberal POV, just CT nonsense.

good and help Trump win the election. Now that the Trump is going to be inaugurated in 21 days the
Fed is making the market go down, for what reason. That is one goofy theory.
