Time to Fix Interest Rates ?
The Federal Reserve loves to tinker with interest rates like they’re a magic lever that controls the entire economy. But what do we get in return? Booms, busts, recessions, and instability—all because an unelected central bank insists on micromanaging the cost of money.
To be clear: The Fed does more damage than good.
The Problem With Constant Rate Manipulation
Every time the Fed messes with rates, it distorts the free market.
🔹 2008 Housing Crash – The Fed kept rates too low for too long, creating a housing bubble. When they finally hiked rates, the bubble popped, leading to the Great Recession. There were certainly other factors, but the FED’s role played a large part.
🔹 2020-2023 Inflation Surge – They printed trillions, suppressed rates, then panicked and raised them too fast—crushing small businesses and killing opportunity. Frankly, it was a great money shift into the pockets of the pockets of those with friends in government. With Small Business Destruction – Low rates helped Wall Street, but high rates crushed Main Street. Who really benefits here?
