Federal Reserve Lowers Interest Rates—Signaling Democratic Success

  • by

Donald Trump’s economic mismanagement, particularly through trade wars, tax cuts for the wealthy, and a catastrophic COVID-19 response, played a major role in driving inflation—an issue that has been wrongly blamed solely on President Joe Biden. As Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell noted in December 2020, monetary policy operates with “long and variable lags,” meaning that the effects of Trump’s policies, including aggressive monetary interventions to counter the pandemic, laid the groundwork for inflation that manifested under Biden’s term. Republican propaganda has conveniently shifted blame onto Biden while ignoring the delayed consequences of Trump’s decisions.

However, the Biden-Harris administration’s Inflation Reduction Act helped stabilize inflation, particularly by supporting low-income workers and ensuring wage growth kept pace with rising costs. Today, with the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates, it’s clear that Democrats have won the battle on inflation. The question remains: Why would anyone want to return to the policies of the person who caused the problem in the first place? Trump’s reckless economic strategy favored the rich, disrupted supply chains, and burdened ordinary Americans, while Biden’s leadership has delivered relief and recovery for the people that needed it the most. F right-wing propaganda.

Debunking Right-Wing Propaganda: The Misinformation Game and Its Impact on Voters

Right-wing media often fuels outrage with false or exaggerated claims, like unfounded fears about “leftist ideologies” or misleading narratives about Democrats. These tactics distract from real issues, such as tax policies favoring the wealthy, and manipulate voters to act against their own interests. For example, Kamala Harris supports middle-class tax cuts funded by higher taxes on the rich, while Trump’s policies benefit the wealthy and harm ordinary Americans. Understanding these deceptive strategies is crucial for focusing on genuine issues that affect everyday lives and preserving democratic values against manipulative agendas like Project 2025.

“Tampon Timmy!” – MAGA

Governor Tim Walz took a significant step toward inclusivity and supporting the education of all students by signing a law that ensures menstrual products are available in school bathrooms. The law provided menstrual supplies and left distribution up to the schools. Naturally Republicans chose to lie and claim that tampons were going into boys bathrooms (not that there would be anything wrong with that). Tim Walz ensured that students would has access to menstrual supplies so that no child would have to deal with extra stress and could focus on their education, but Republicans prefer causing stress and making students lives as difficult as possible.
