National Economic Council director and President Donald Trump's top economic advisor, Gary Cohn, is the leading candidate to take over the top job at the Federal Reserve, according to a report from Politico.

Politico's Ben White and Victoria Guida said Tuesday that if Cohn wants the job currently occupied by Chair Janet Yellen, it's his to take, according to four sources close to the replacement search.

Cohn had been reportedly leading up the search for someone to take over for Yellen when her term expires in February 2018. Reports also suggested that Cohn may be interested in the job.

Hope he does better than the last non-economist Fed chair.

I’ll pass on Cohn.

We already have enormous Goldman Sachs influence in our government—we don’t need any more.

Goldman Sachs is the public relations arm of the Federal Reserve

Freedom and limited government are ultimately inconsistent with a centrally-planned and manipulated, politicized, fiat monetary system. The latter will steadily destroy the former, as we are now seeing.

This is the best nomination by POTUS in my opinion.
Janet Yellen is terrible at FED. Slowest recovery ever!

Yellen printed $5-10 TRILLION and funneled most to Wall St to prop-up stocks.

Biggest wealth redistribution in the history of the world.

Definitely for this administration if not for the Fed itself.

Depends on your point of view. Burns and Miller oversaw double-digit inflation rates and interest rates. At least Yellen avoided that.

Define 'audited'. You mean like a financial audit? Like any other bank or financial institution gets?

Let's try again. What do you mean by "audited"? How does that differ from a standard financial audit that looks at financial statements, assets, liabilities, etc.?
