The Spring Festival passed in the blink of an eye, thinking of the interesting things in the Spring Festival, my face more than a few smiles... .. ... "Chicken red envelope on New Year's Eve, Spring Festival. When the second hand points to 0, when the minute hand slips past the 59th minute, when the hand is fixed at 12 o 'clock, the Year of the Sheep has arrived. "Baa -- baa --" I sat up suddenly as the festive songs and the barking of boby, my little dog. It was New Year's. The first thing you do when you get up -- collect red packets. "Good luck in the Year of the Sheep." Mother gave me two letters of red, thick oh. Then he smiled and said to the dog boby, "boby, happy New Year." Then he handed boby another generous letter. Boby looked at the letter with interest. His little brown nose moved a little, and then he saw a very nice person. Like a friend, he ran over quickly and stood next to the red envelope, smelling it carefully. "Mother, what is that?" "Chicken jerky." Mom whispered in my ear. "Oh -" I saw boby sniffing for a long time, as if to confirm the chicken jerky in the red envelope, and impatiently around the red envelope, as if thinking about how to open the red envelope. After a while, boby gently pushed the red envelope with his foot to the carpet in front of the toilet and climbed on it as if no one was watching. Then, boby tightly protected the red envelope with his front foot, and repeatedly bit the red envelope with his teeth. After a while, the paper of the red envelope was tightly burned by boby's saliva, so boby gently bit it with his teeth - white chicken jerky was revealed. Boby munched on chicken jerky like an old friend after a long absence. After chewing for a while, boby moved to the scene of the battle - the carpet in front of the window. As Boby walked, he wagged his chrysanthemum tail as if he were showing off his trophy.....If you want to ask me how my Spring Festival was, I will answer without hesitation: "I had a very happy Spring Festival." Before the Spring Festival, I saw that it was not easy for my family to take care of children and work, so I consciously reduced the burden for my family. Every morning, I would go to my cousin's shop to do business. If no customers came to the shop, I would play some pleasant songs to attract the customers' eyes. When the guests see the message, most of them will buy more. When the guests say goodbye to me, I always say to them, "Thank you for coming." When this sentence reaches the ears of the guests, most of the guests will have a second arrival, and in this way, the money continues to flow into my pocket. Because I earned so much money, the whole family felt very happy on the night of Spring Festival. On the evening of the Spring Festival, I used the money I earned to let the whole family taste the delicious Spring Festival in the hotel. There was not a single person in the whole family who was not happy in the hotel. Everyone exclaimed, "This is really delicious food." After dinner, I got a compliment from my family: "Wow. It was so unexpected. I can't believe that at your young age you have earned so much money to treat your whole family to a dinner." As soon as I finished speaking, they couldn't help but raise their thumb at me. At this time, who does not feel a warm heart? This Spring Festival, I earned a lot of me, learned the skill of doing business, let the whole family have a meal, how can this Spring Festival call people unhappy?

Trump Voices Reluctance at Nominating Hassett as Fed Chair
Former President Donald Trump has publicly expressed reluctance to nominate economist Kevin Hassett as the next Chair of the Federal Reserve, igniting discussion across political and financial circles. Hassett, a well-known economic adviser during Trump’s administration, has long been considered a candidate capable of bridging the divide between market confidence and presidential expectations. Yet Trump’s latest statements suggest hesitation, prompting questions about the dynamics between the White House, the Federal Reserve, and Wall Street. The Federal Reserve and Its Importance The Federal Reserve, or Fed, is the central bank of the United States and plays a crucial role in steering the economy. Its responsibilities include controlling inflation, stabilizing employment, and guiding monetary policy through tools such as interest rates and quantitative easing. The selection of a Fed Chair is one of the most significant economic decisions a president can make, as the position directly impacts financial markets, consumer confidence, and international economic relations. Hassett’s name has circulated in financial and political circles as a potential candidate due to his extensive background in economic policy. He previously served as Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under Trump and has consistently advocated for growth-oriented policies. His nomination could signal continuity with Trump-era economic priorities, but the former president’s reluctance has created uncertainty. Trump’s Reluctance In recent interviews, Trump expressed hesitation over formally nominating Hassett, citing concerns about market volatility and potential political backlash. Analysts suggest several factors could be influencing his reluctance: Public Scrutiny: Nominating a high-profile economist invites intense media attention and political debate. Any misstep could impact Trump’s image and perceived influence over economic policy. Policy Differences: Although Hassett and Trump worked closely during his administration, disagreements over interest rates, inflation control, or fiscal strategy could cause hesitation. Timing and Strategy: The timing of a Fed nomination is critical. Trump may be weighing market conditions, congressional response, or broader political calculations before making a decision. Market Implications Financial markets respond strongly to news about Fed leadership. The Chair influences interest rates, lending policies, and overall investor confidence. Uncertainty around the nomination can lead to short-term market volatility, affecting stock prices, bond yields, and the U.S. dollar. Economists argue that hesitation in announcing a nominee could signal indecision or caution, which may affect investor sentiment. “Markets value predictability,” says Julia Ramirez, a senior economist at Global Insights. “A prolonged period without a clear candidate can create temporary instability, particularly in sectors sensitive to interest rate changes, such as banking and real estate.” Hassett’s Profile Kevin Hassett is widely recognized for his academic and policy expertise. He co-authored several influential works on economic growth, tax policy, and productivity. During his tenure as Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, Hassett emphasized tax reform, deregulation, and measures aimed at stimulating investment. Supporters argue that Hassett’s experience equips him to manage complex economic challenges, including inflationary pressures, labor market fluctuations, and post-pandemic recovery strategies. Critics, however, question whether his policy preferences align with the current economic landscape, particularly with inflation and debt concerns dominating headlines. Political Dynamics Trump’s reluctance also reflects broader political dynamics. The Federal Reserve, while independent, often becomes a focal point for political debate. Decisions about leadership, policy direction, and rate adjustments carry political weight. By hesitating to nominate Hassett, Trump may be signaling caution, balancing his desire to influence economic policy with the need to avoid potential criticism from lawmakers, economists, or the media. The situation underscores the intersection of politics and economics, where decisions extend beyond technical expertise to considerations of public perception and political strategy. Historical Context Presidents have historically faced scrutiny over Fed appointments. The Chair’s term typically spans four years, but the position’s influence extends well beyond the tenure of any single administration. Past presidents have occasionally delayed nominations, weighing the impact on markets, the Senate confirmation process, and economic policy continuity. Trump’s reluctance echoes these historical patterns. By pausing, he may be ensuring that any nomination strengthens both market stability and his political positioning, rather than generating controversy or uncertainty. Potential Outcomes Several scenarios could emerge from Trump’s hesitation: Nomination Moves Forward: After careful consideration, Trump could formally nominate Hassett, signaling confidence in his abilities and reinforcing Trump-era economic priorities. Alternative Candidate: Hesitation might indicate Trump is exploring other options, potentially favoring a candidate with different policy views or broader bipartisan appeal. Prolonged Uncertainty: Extended delay could increase market anxiety and political debate, complicating the nomination process and influencing investor sentiment. Each outcome carries implications not only for Hassett and the Fed but also for the broader economy, highlighting the significance of leadership decisions at the nation’s central bank. Reactions from Economists and Analysts Reactions to Trump’s statements have been mixed. Some economists see the reluctance as prudent, emphasizing the need to assess market conditions and congressional sentiment before nominating a Fed Chair. Others view it as unnecessary delay, creating uncertainty in a period when stable leadership is critical. Investors and analysts are watching closely, understanding that the Fed Chair’s influence extends to mortgage rates, borrowing costs, and overall economic growth. Even perceived hesitation can ripple through financial markets, underscoring the intertwined nature of politics and economics. Conclusion Trump’s reluctance to nominate Kevin Hassett as Fed Chair highlights the complex balance between politics, economics, and leadership. While Hassett’s credentials suggest he could provide stability and continuity, the former president’s hesitation underscores the broader considerations at play, from market confidence to political optics. As discussions continue, the financial world and the public remain attentive. The Fed Chairship is one of the most consequential appointments in U.S. economic history, affecting everything from consumer borrowing to global markets. Whether Hassett eventually receives the nomination or an alternative candidate emerges, the situation illustrates the delicate interplay between political decision-making and economic stewardship—a dynamic that shapes not just Washington, but the daily financial lives of millions of Americans.
