and D appoint R's for FBI so they'll look "tough on crime". Mistake.

The Fed said they are more bullish than their previously pessimistic estimate; they moved their real GDP growth expectation up from 1.8% to 2.3%. It's still low; the average under Biden was more than 3%.

unemployment was lower and inflation was falling when Biden left office; now unemployment is higher and inflation is rising or staying steady at a too-high rate. Also: the economy does better under Democrats *generally*

There were many banking panics & recessions in the yrs before the Fed was created in 1913. The Fed hasnt been perfect but it has done a good job. Evidence is clear that central banks under control of a leader do much worse (e.g. Turkey!). Economists support an independent Fed nearly 100%.

real median wages (best measure) are up 0.8% from Q1 to Q3 2025, so wages for the average person have risen a bit more than inflation.
