What do these folks actually DO?!

All we hear is that they take in a huge volume of inputs, and periodically they adjust a interest rate up, down, or not at all. They could be using a Magic 8 Ball for all we know.

If the Trump administration/DOJ would just indict her for mortgage fraud, like they would have for 99.99% of the population, the fat ass scumbag would be securing a lawyer for her defense instead of retaining her employment.

Whatever, the voting on interest rates will be interesting on whether they counter vote or not counter vote. Talk about uncertainty in the market.

The Federal Reserve actually does a lot more than that. Unfortunately.

Totally agreed. And when she’s convicted the Fed Board would have to deal with the “no one is above the law issue”.

Skip the big announcements. Indict, try, convict. Let it play out.

Is that surprising? The fact she was appointed by Biden is prima facia evidence she is grossly incompetent.

Everyone knew this was coming. I'm a hard-liner on separation of powers, so I think Trump should be able to fire her.

But I think SCOTUS says "no".

Good luck with that... He’s the boss and he can fire any employee he wants to fire, and if that firing breaks some law or statute... It doesn’t matter... He’s the President and he can’t break the law. Thanks to the Democrats the Supreme Court has already established the precedent.

Just curious. Is she black? That is usually their MO when you try to fire them. Happened at my wife’s company. They fired five people, two of them were black. The two black ones sued. Fortunately, they lost.
