>questions have been raised about whether Warsh or any other Trump pick would be able to withstand the repeated pressure from Trump and other White House officials to lower interest rates.
Another mealy mouth financial article that ignores the elephant in the room.
Trump not only wants lower interest rates, he wants negative “real” interest rates, an interest rate below the inflation rate.
So, the question is, will the Fed start up the money printer to buy all that negative real interest rate debt?
Gotta remember, this is the same financial press that has been peddling that “print and spend” is the same as “borrow and spend”.
