Herman Cain’s appointment as a Federal Reserve governor looks to be moving forward.

The former Republican presidential candidate and Godfather’s Pizza founder was rumored to be under consideration for a central bank appointment in January. Axios first reported Thursday that President Donald Trump is just about ready to submit Cain’s name to the Senate but is awaiting the completion of a background check. Bloomberg News later confirmed Trump was selecting Cain. A source familiar with the matter did not deny the reports to CNBC.

“He won’t formally announce until the vet is completed ... But he likes Cain and wants to put him on there,” said a senior official quoted by Axios who has discussed the matter with the president.

9% with no deductions sounds pretty good in NYS now that our highest in the country property taxes are capped at 10,000.

The Fed NEEDS a batch of folks with economic smarts who are not academics, which the fed is over flowing with.

...and you should hear him sing!
I met him after a Christmas holiday concert at the Orpheum Theater in Omaha many years ago.

Good choice. Herman Cain is a good man.

Really wish he was younger and could have been President. Really him and Trump are very similar.

I hope this is in addition to Stephen Moore, rather than instead of.

Addition. There are two open seats on the Fed board.

Get those two in there to rein in that idiot Powell...

There are seven members of the Fed board and 12 members of the Fed Open Market Committee so there's a limit to what they can do.
