People in the US are feeling very minor pain in the recovery since covid compared to their peers in other countries. Again, though, the electorate won't care about that stuff.

You can only tell the electorate that if rates get cut that the economy will overheat and inflation will pop so many times. It's not like they (or like half the people on scoop) understand the economy or inflation anyway. The only way to improve the situation for the majority of the electorate is to raise rates, or to wait. The fed is hoping that waiting will do the trick, along with using their words to temper manipulate market expectations.

Not that any of that has to do with the executive branch.
