they re the only game in town. they re getting people very nervous because they re likely to keep hiking rates, maybe bigger or longer than we thought. what do you think of that? well, what the federal reserve is trying to do here is obviously respond to this out of control inflation and do that by trying to slow the economy down. that s what happens obviously when you raise interest rates. why you d have the federal reserve appointed by president biden and other presidents, why you have the federal reserve trying to slow inflation down and you d be so intend on doing exactly what it says to heat it back up sounds like the government is not working not only with each other but actively working against each other if they re allowed to get this done. you cannot put more money in to this economy right now hoping it will be spent and still making the other part, the federal reserve, trying to keep money
government bring forward proposals that represent action to deal with the problems created by the irish sea border, by the harm that is doing to our economy, undermining our political institutions, creating instability and harming our relationship with the rest of the united kingdom. we cannot have power sharing in less there is a consensus was that that consensus doesn t exist. i m in the business of rebuilding that consensus in northern ireland. rebuilding that consensus in northern ireland. sinn fein the resident northern ireland. sinn fein the president mary northern ireland. sinn fein the president mary lou northern ireland. sinn fein the president mary lou mcdonald l northern ireland. sinn fein the i president mary lou mcdonald said that the meeting she added michelle o neill had with borisjohnson was tough but sinn fein is committed to power sharing. irate tough but sinn fein is committed to power-sharing- tough but sinn fein is committed to power-sharing. we have not give
