Powell already pivoted but they put it in writing yesterday…
They nixed the prospect of hikes and noted they would consider cuts next (though still marginally hawkish as they noted they will not move until they see a path to 2% - makes sense given they also upgraded their view on growth and nixed worries over banking)
He is no longer afraid of growth…

The stimmy keeps on coming 🍾
Inflation adjustments to social security and increases in retiree healthcare (+150bn) completely offset expiring income tax credits (-$150bn)…
Next year those two categories will rise by another $200bn yet again (~1% of GDP) with no real offset.
This is all due to a massive wave of retirees now eligible to receive government benefits… 💴 💴 💴
This is on top of all the blue wave spending proposals which added another $200bn in spending (~1% of GDP). The spending however isn’t the total as it supurred a ton of related investments.
