What was said around it

debt at a cheaper cost and kick  the can a bit further down the road well if you   don't want to sit around twiddling your thumbs  waiting for the rate cutting cycle to play out   you could take a more proactive approach if the  Fed's motivation for cutting interest rates is a   slowing economy then why not just go ahead and  slam on the brakes or you know just drive the   vehicle straight off a cliff so if the tariffs  look like a car crash then perhaps we should   believe our eyes after all the purpose of a system  is what it does the tariffs will tank the economy   which will most likely prompt the Federal  Reserve to lower interest rates significantly   investors can be expected to flee from risk  assets into the safety of US 10-year Treasury   notes pushing down their yields and therefore  the size of the government's debt repayments   now evidence for this sequence of events includes  Trump's frequent challenges to the Fed's legal and   operational independence he has openly criticized  and discussed firing Jerome Pal he has said that   presidents should quote have a say in rate  decisions and cited his business credentials   as superior to Fed officials expertise trump has  demanded
