Powell for president please


Nobody who takes money as seriously as either party to this case should be president. Leaders should be focused on outcomes not abstractions.


He printed way too hard when Trump asked him to in '20.


My understanding is the United States has one of the strongest post-pandemic recoveries, the printing was definitely a factor.


I'm not arguing against QE I am saying there was too much of it and we could have had recovered just fine without the severe inflation that landed us in the current predicament.


Lower inflation and higher growth than every peer nation?

The Fed absolutely crushed it. Totally unambiguous.


Here are some ambiguous things:

1. Inflation

2. Comparing peer economies

3. Counterfactual timelines


What country did better (other than the imaginary retconned one in your head), so we can discuss the comparison directly?


Please read the posting guidelines.


Plus a bit of minding the til, as the fraud involved was out of hand.
