3. They're Trying to Prop Up the Economy Until After the Election. A Recession Seals the GOP's Fate.

4. I am not hyperbolic by nature, so what I say next is my opinion..

The Con is trying to destroy our economy...while he says exactly the opposite..The more chaos in the country, the advantage increases for the rule of law breaking....and time extends to election which he absolutely wants to get to before accountability....all this time his lawyers arguing that he is not to be investigated or indicted or anything while presidente...meanwhile, he is garnering support from every dictator, authoritarian, crackpot that he can get, including our own AG, and every cabinet member.....so that he can lie, cheat , steal the election and when he doesn’t win, he will cause even more chaos by telling his cult that it was a stolen election.......

I keep questioning the efficacy of all this, and I have to question the honesty of the Fed. After all, the central bank keeps chasing events, and its policy actions are turning ever more aggressive while it insists that everything is fine. The bank’s actions are saying things are not fine. Far from it. Otherwise, the Fed wouldn’t be forced into all these policy actions. But would the Fed cop to things not being fine? To do so would be to sap confidence — can’t have that.

What would markets look like without these policy interventions? One can only wonder. For one, we know the overnight financing rate would be much higher. That is, after all, why the Fed is forced to intervene: To keep the target rate low.

Many analysts now suggest there will be a year-end stock market rally, primarily driven by the Fed as earnings growth remains weak. If they print, you must buy.

It may well be that our financial markets have permanently devolved into a Fed-subsidized, wealth-inequality-generating machine benefitting the few that own stocks. But one has to wonder why the rate cutting and liquidity injections haven’t been able to produce sustained market highs.
