The Federal Reserve announced Wednesday that it will keep interest rates locked at their highest level in 23 years, dealing yet another blow to American families already struggling under the weight of Bidenomics. But here's what the mainstream media won't tell you – this decision is a direct indictment of the Biden administration's reckless spending policies.
The Numbers Don't Lie
Fed officials now project only one rate cut in 2024, down from the three cuts they anticipated just months ago. Let that sink in, folks. The so-called "soft landing" that Biden's economic team has been promising? It's looking more like a crash landing for your wallet.
According to CNBC's reporting on the Federal Reserve announcement, the central bank cited persistent inflation concerns as the primary driver behind this hawkish stance. Despite what the White House press secretary tells you about "historic economic recovery," inflation remains stubbornly above the Fed's 2% target.
"The Committee does not expect it will be appropriate to reduce the target range until it has gained greater confidence that inflation is moving sustainably toward 2 percent."
Translation? The Fed doesn't trust that this administration has inflation under control – and neither should you.
What This Means for Hardworking Americans
Let me break this down for you. When the Fed keeps rates high, it means:
Higher mortgage rates – First-time homebuyers, many of them young conservative families trying to achieve the American Dream, are being priced out of the housing market. The average 30-year mortgage rate remains near 7%, more than double what it was before Biden took office.
More expensive car loans – Working-class Americans who need reliable transportation to get to their jobs are paying thousands more in interest.
Crushing credit card debt – With average credit card APRs now exceeding 20%, families living paycheck to paycheck are being squeezed even tighter.
The Root Cause They Won't Discuss
Here's what the establishment economists and Biden apologists don't want to acknowledge: this inflation crisis was entirely predictable and entirely preventable. When you pump trillions of dollars into the economy through reckless spending bills – the so-called "Inflation Reduction Act" that actually increased inflation, the bloated "infrastructure" package laden with Green New Deal priorities – this is exactly what happens.
Former President Trump warned us. Conservative economists warned us. And now, the American people are paying the price.
The Strong Labor Market Myth
The Fed points to a "strong labor market" as one reason they can maintain these elevated rates. But let's examine that claim critically. Yes, unemployment numbers look decent on paper, but dig deeper and you'll find:
Millions of Americans have dropped out of the workforce entirely. Real wages, adjusted for inflation, have declined for most of Biden's presidency. Many of the "jobs created" are part-time positions or simply workers returning after pandemic lockdowns.
The American worker isn't thriving – they're surviving.
Looking Ahead
As we head into what promises to be the most consequential election of our lifetime, remember this moment. Remember that the Federal Reserve – hardly a conservative institution – just admitted through their actions that inflation is not under control, despite every reassurance from the Biden administration.
The path forward is clear. We need leadership that understands fiscal responsibility, that won't print money we don't have, and that puts American workers and families first – not radical climate agendas and social engineering programs.
The Fed's decision today isn't just about interest rates. It's a report card on Bidenomics. And folks, it's a failing grade.
Stay vigilant, stay informed, and as always – let's continue this satisfhat together.
