Ron Paul Liberty Report

The feud between President Trump and Fed Chair Powell is really a fool's errand. Neither can possibly know what interest rates should be, simply because interest rates are derived in the marketplace. Price fixing, by either the Fed or the President, always ends us creating economic malaise. The Fed should not exist because there's no way to properly fix prices, and counterfeiting is unconstitutional and immoral.

When reading the New York Times it is best to treat it like reading Pravda in the days of the USSR. It is the mouthpiece of the deep state. So what are they trying to convey in this lengthy "blockbuster" report that Trump has put a temporary kibosh on Netanyahu's plan to use the US military to fulfill his long-held fantasy of attacking Iran?
