Is The Federal Reserve Actually TRYING To Cause A Stock Market Crash?<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n
\n

\"\"<\/a>The Federal Reserve has decided not to come to the rescue this time.\u00a0 All of the economic numbers tell us that the economy is slowing down, and on Wednesday Fed Chair Jerome Powell even admitted that economic conditions are \u201csoftening\u201d<\/a>, but the Federal Reserve raised interest rates anyway.\u00a0 As one top economist put it, raising rates as we head into an economic downturn is \u201ceconomic malpractice\u201d<\/a>.\u00a0 They know that higher rates will slow down the economy even more, but it isn\u2019t as if the Fed was divided on this move.\u00a0 In fact, it was a unanimous vote to raise rates.\u00a0 They clearly have an agenda, and that agenda is definitely not about helping the American people.<\/p>\n

Early on Wednesday, Wall Street seemed to believe that the Federal Reserve would do the right thing, and the Dow was up nearly 400 points.\u00a0 But then the announcement came, and the market began sinking dramatically.<\/p>\n

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 720 points in just two hours<\/a>, and the Dow ended the day down a total of 351 points.\u00a0 This is the lowest that the Dow has been all year, 60 percent<\/a> of the stocks listed on the S&P 500 are in bear market territory, and at this point approximately four trillion dollars of stock market wealth has been wiped out.<\/p>\n

We haven\u2019t seen anything like this since the last financial crisis.\u00a0 This is officially the worst quarter for the stock market since the fourth quarter of 2008, and it is the worst December that Wall Street has experienced since 1931<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is insanity to raise interest rates when stocks are already crashing, but the Federal Reserve did it anyway.<\/p>\n
