#NH #NHGOP #Republicans #extremists

Hello NH. When you elect a #Republican politician, you get crap like this.

#Restrictive NH #voting laws costs the State money, create confusion, #target #married #women and accomplish nothing, as there's never been a case where a non-citizen has voted in the State.

There have been a number of #vote #Fraud cases, and the majority of those? Committed by Republicans. Of course.

GET TO THE POLLS. VOTE THE EXTREMISTS OUT.

There's little doubt among #ECB members that current rates are now above that #neutral rate and still #restrictive, which is why there is likely to be agreement on another cut this week, chart @reuters.com https://www.reuters.com/markets/rates-bonds/ecb-cut-rates-again-march-6-focus-turns-growth-2025-02-27/
#ECB - โ€œThe data are showing that the degree of restriction has come down significantly, up to a point where we can no longer say with confidence that our monetary policy is still #restrictiveโ€ @Isabel_Schnabel said, chart @FT https://www.ft.com/content/5b6c9dda-cf93-4994-8f04-13c70b54d52f

(ending 3-meeting streak of rate cuts)
With #Fed Funds rate now 100bps below its cycle peak, monetary policy, while still #restrictive, is closer to #neutral than it was just months ago, and there are few reasons to rush further cuts, notes @JPMorganAM
Even after four 25bp interest rate cuts, #ECB monetary policy remains #restrictive, and despite the pledges of no pre-commitments and a meeting-by-meeting approach, further rate #cuts are very likely ahead, chart @NordeaMarkets
Good morning, which #instances of #mastodon do you suggest that the #rules and #moderator don't be #restrictive . #feedverse
A deposit facility rate of 1.75% @ECB would be still moderately #restrictive โ€“ The ongoing #stagnation suggests that monetary policy should be expansionary to avoid #inflation falling significantly below @ECBโ€™s target. The #real rate should therefore be negative.
