Interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve will likely be cheered as a response to inflation heading back to two per cent, rather than to growth concerns. However, when markets—which are forward-looking—conclude that there is significant evidence of a growth slowdown, likely by late spring 2025, this will shift sentiment. Until then, expect a risk-on environment with the S&P 500 potentially reaching 6,500 and interest rates close to two per cent by 2025.

I am so sad to see Harris and the Dems playing by the GOP's playbook on immigration, crime, guns, the military, China, climate change, and the economy. We are accepting fear as the basis of policy rather than leaning into our power, ingenuity, and potential as a nation. Masha Gessen spoke at CMC's Athenaeum last night and they explained this as being backward-looking versus forward-looking. Trump et al., just like Putin and Modi and Xi and Bolsonaro and Orban and so many others, promise a return to a very specific mythological past (in the US, it's kind of "see Dick and Jane frack"). The Dems could instead be promising a brighter future based, like the past, on integrating immigrants into the economy rather than rejecting them, on innovation rather than old technologies, on using our knowledge and skills and labor to address rather than ignore the climate and pollution, on creating new jobs and new opportunities, on fair wages, on access to healthcare and education for all, on modern cities and new infrastructure, on all the things we can do rather than all the things we should fear.

Economist Milton Friedman was influential, plain spoken, incredibly intelligent and very FUNNY. He often appeared on television and was widely quoted. He strongly advocated FOR a free market and AGAINST a sprawling powerful Federal government. In retrospect, he was almost always right. Our nation is based upon the principle of #Federalism. This form of government is comprised of a number of smaller, mostly sovereign States which are joined together under a (mostly) centralized Federal government, which is defined and limited by - and subordinate to - the US Constitution. HERE'S MY POINT. We ARE the *United States of America*, NOT the 'Central State of America.' By intentional design, some States (like Florida or Texas) are very different from other States (like California or New York). ALL States enjoy a great deal of autonomy and the right to choose their own directions and policies. IMHO - that is a very good thing. I think that this is a good time to remember leaders like Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell, Ronald Reagan, Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher. It's also a good time for ALL American citizens to read their own foundational documents like the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. LEARN. And then VOTE. In that order. 😉 This is YOUR nation, my friends.
