“Just in: GREAT JOBS NUMBERS, FAR GREATER THAN EXPECTED! The United States of America should be paying MUCH LESS on its Borrowings (BONDS!). We are again the strongest Country in the World, and should therefore be paying the LOWEST INTEREST RATE, by far. This would be an INTEREST COST SAVINGS OF AT LEAST ONE TRILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR – BALANCED BUDGET, PLUS. WOW! The Golden Age of America is upon us!!!” Trumppostedon Truth Social.
Last summer, Trumpcalled outFederal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell for keeping interest rates much higher than the rest of the industrialized world, saying it is costing the U.S. hundreds of billions of dollars in interest payments on the national debt.
Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno of Ohio, who serves on the Senate’s banking and budget committees, told Fox News at the time that the Federal Reserve’s decision to keep the interest rate at the-then 4.25 to 4.5 percent range was costing the American taxpayer over $400 billion per year in interest payments on debt.
The Federal Reserve Board has cut the rate slightly since then, to the current3.5 to 3.75 percentrange.
