Not federal....... ha ha ha ha ha. One thing Trump has changed is people are no longer ashamed to comment on stuff they know nothing about without fear of looking foolish. the Feds policies are national policies, hence the difference between state and federal. and it is a reserve, it holds gold owned by the U.S. government, foreign governments, other central banks, and official international organizations. They give tours where you can look at vaults.

Trump is not left wing on tax, immigration, military spending, entitlements, healthcare, gun control, LGBT rights, Civil rights, entitlements, Supreme Court nominees, globalisation, International Organizations, trade, gender pay discrimination, consumer protections, environmental regulations, financial regulations, ethics regulations, gender pay discrimination, international law. So what makes him left wing? You sound totally out of touch with Trumps agenda. Do you consider Tarrifs to be left wing and Trumps defining policy?

Yes, but if we dont raise interest rates, inflation will damage the poor, which also has a social cost, like not being able to afford houses. dont forget the other causes of the last recession were deregulation of banks allowing for trade in derivatives, housing bubble, stock market crash, poor lending practices....... When the economy is doing well, tap down on inflation by raising interest rates which will also spur sales of government bonds (something a debtor government like America desperately needs).

they might have trouble housing people in Navy base as the EPA just released a report that they have sat on for six months for fear of bad publicity. All US military base have contaminated drinking water from chemicals used in firefighting foam and other equipment. So its especially dangerous to kids and pregnant women. I feel sorry for the wives and kids of soldiers, as well as soldiers housed on these bases as these chemicals, cause birth defects, developmental problems, and cancers. So that might complicate things as these bases are just about to undergo some major changes at major expense, not to mention the lawsuits that are bound. Just as one Trump scandal starts to get sorted a new one starts.
