Quote from estrader:
Gas prices is not a sign of a recession. Recession is when your economic growth is down for two consequitive quarters. We have a rising inflation rate and at the same time weakining dollar. What does the Fed do? They lower the interest rate. This leads to more inflation and more weak dollar. What is the original source of the problem. Artificially low interest rates kept down by the Fed. Is this central planning or what? Why is some private bank setting the interest rate for the whole country, and not the markets.
