The New Federal Reserve HQ

The Federal Reserve is nearly done completing its revamp of its Washington, DC, headquarters with a price tag of $2.5 billion.

Can Trump Fire Powell from the Federal Reserve

I draw the line with Trump when it comes to the Federal Reserve. The President nominates the Chair of the Federal Reserve, and the Senate confirms them. The term for the Chair is four years, but they can be reappointed. For example, Jerome Powell was nominated by Trump and then reappointed by Biden. But can […]

The President Overtaking the Federal Reserve – BAD IDEA

I do not agree with Donald Trump’s view of the Federal Reserve. I speak on behalf of sound economic policies that benefit the people.

Some still question whether the Fed will ease on its hawkish policies, but there is absolutely every indication to believe they will continue at full speed. Core PCE rose 4.9% in August from the year prior and […]

The Federal Reserve Cannot Combat Inflation Alone

Fed Chair Jerome Powell was notably frustrated when pressured about the Fed’s role in inflation. During his Q&A session this Wednesday, Powell plainly stated that the Federal Reserve alone could not combat inflation. It is far more complex than simply raising rates and hoping for the best. The Federal Reserve cannot increase the supply to […]

Did Manchin Just Save the Federal Reserve?

Once again Joe Manchin has broken away from party lines to prevent the Democrats from destroying the global economy. Manchin announced that he would not support President Biden’s pick for Fed chair, Sarah Bloom Raskin, as her personal views on climate change could drastically alter Fed policy. “I have carefully reviewed Sarah Bloom Raskin’s qualifications […]

People Blame the Federal Reserve & Never Politicians

Every now and again I get those stupid hate emails to blame the federal reserve and central banks for everything while NEVER once do they ever look at the history of central banks and how Congress has been manipulating the law changing the definition of what the Fed was even supposed to be. They do […]
