Well. I read this edition slowly as befits my ignorance about economics, and I still don’t understand quantitative easing, but this seems like a no brainer to me too, Isaac. Janet Yellen supports Powell. He seems moderate and cares about full employment as do I. Plenty is broken. Perhaps we should avoid fixing what isn’t. Thanks for also bringing up the issue of immigration—I need to pay more attention to it. Progressives would do well to understand why a number of border counties in Texas went for Trump in 2020.
Powell: This story got way too much coverage. Of course The Tribe wants to oust him. Follow the money. They want his replacement to send trillions their way, and to their backers. Nothing has been used more often lately as an excuse for a progressive bag job or power grab than climate change. Except, maybe, covid.
