Another shift in momentum. Republican support for impeachment now at 18%.
Yes let's spend our time trying to throw out the guy who has formed the best economy in 50 years, replace him with economic leftists who would take us back to 1929. Pure brilliance.

Not so fast with those loose and hyperbolic quotes and threats from Trump.

Trump says the U.S. economy Is 'Best It Has Ever Been,' but the facts tell a different story.

You may want to note: The official economic statistics, with which Trump plays loose and fast, have less relevance to what people tell each other over the kitchen table when they’re trying to pay the bills. And it’s this kitchen-table economics – not the official statistics – that drives votes.

Some unvarnished facts and comparisons:

If the economy is so strong why is Trump continually pushing the Fed to lower interest rates? Is he trying to forestall a looming recession?

Correct. The SENATE is complicit in Trump's impeachable offenses by running interference for him.

Our dollar is so strong right now, combined with the reduced exports to China that our exports are down so lower interest rates can help balance that out and also make it cheaper for our government to service it's debt.
Kitchen table economics are going to be split. Sure if you are a Chinese goods importer, seller, hauler, or middleman you might be having a not so great kitchen table budget planning. For others in US manufacturing it's been like playing a country song backwards...."got my job back, my house back, my truck back, my wife back....."
Furthermore, the middle class got their federal tax rate dropped to 22% from 25% under Trumps tax reform, while they REDUCED tax deduction opportunities for the rich.

Maybe Trump wants lower interest rates to make it easier to service his own debt.
