Do You Think the Federal Reserve Should Maintain its Independence?
No.Do You Think the Federal Reserve Should Maintain its Independence?
No.
There must be some form of checks and balances over the Fed because it's too easy for such an organization to be use for political purposes.

Except that's exactly what's happening now. A US president pressuring the Fed to make rate cut changes is exactly what it means for this kind of organization to be used for political purposes. Added to that his the absurdly transparent efforts to change board members by creating reasons to remove some of them.No.

Neither Obama nor Biden would ever have to do anything because the Fed was politically aligned with both of them. That means your whataboutism is irrelevant nonsense.So the solution is to make it overtly political.
If Obama or Biden had done this, you and every other "conservative" would be having a collective conniption.

Congress should never create an institution or organization that is outside the government. That flies in the face of the checks and balances that are built into the Constitution. The Constitution says the legislature passes laws and that the laws are executed by the executive branch. The Fed should rightfully be part of the executive branch. And, according to the Constitution, all power within the executive branch resides in the President.How do you see the "check and balances" working if the Reserve is not Independent?
shrug...imo, President Trump is trying to use the Reserve for politics now.

Interesting how the GOP has not had an issue with the Federa Reserve till Trump. They had over 110 years to change the law.So, the checks and balances built into the Constitution would apply to what the President does with the Fed.
thanks.shrug...
You are welcome to your opinion.

Do your own research. As a matter of fact, your first source is all of the Trump bullshit that you post.What hypocrisy is that?
Research what?Do your own research.
As Trump is trying to do but can't because it is, and should remain, independent.No.

Trump isn't trying to use the Fed for political purposes. He's trying to get them to support our economy instead of them using their power for political purposes.As Trump is trying to do but can't because it is, and should remain, independent.
I guess that you can’t read nor keep up.Research what?
You're gonna need a source for that fat one.No.
