Climate change? What?

My prediction is handful of Dems will vote against him but the GOP will happily assist (with one or two exceptions...)

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Appoint Kamala as Fed chair. Get the show on down the road. You’re heading that way anyway, just do it more quickly.

[Yo-Yo]

Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) are urging President Biden not to nominate Jerome Powell to serve another term as chairman of the Federal Reserve, warning that his refusal to use the Fed to prepare the economy for the impact of climate change is a major problem.

Stop making me wanting to like Powell...

[Lurkinanloomin]

Powell isn’t communist enough.

[jimmygrace]

I don’t think too much of Jerome and his money printing machines, but considering his enemies, he’s looking better and better.

[PGR88]

The left wing wants a real money-printer and woke social-engineer as Fed Chairman

Money is the base of society and the foundation of the entire economy, and centralized money issuance is absolute power. The left wants that.

Correct. This is a case of whoever they come up with will be worse than Powell.

The GOP will vote in big numbers for Powell.. Maybe half of Dems won’t but it doesn’t matter.

The memo was written from the esteemed men’s beachfront properties.

[RandFan]

Ha! Yes. Hypocrites all of them.

[irishjuggler]

I’m with you guys. Powell has been pretty terrible, but anyone Whitehouse et al. want is likely to be much, much worse.

[RandFan]

Absolutely.

Let them protest vote. It’s all a show

[eyeamok]

Huh!! These people are frikkin CRAZY. How exactly would PRINTING MORE MONEY Affect the religious belief of man made global warming??

[robel]

Any bets on them approving Soros for the role?

[fruser1]

The excuse that keeps on giving.

[RandFan]

They’re nuts.

Or just trying to come up with an excuse to protest.

Who knows...

[KC_Conspirator]

I know, right? After hearing this foolishness, Powell may actually be the right person for the job.

[Renfrew]

“Powell has been pretty terrible, but anyone Whitehouse et al. want is likely to be much, much worse.”

Yep. Powell is the best we can hope from Biden. Though Trump should have done better with this appointment.

[DUMBGRUNT]

Powell was last nominated by TRUMP.

He is toast.

[HYPOCRACY]

The quicker the Fed is destroyed, the better. Vote for the person who will destroy it. Stop limping along with commie lite. Go full commie and bring it down.
