Megathread: Federal Reserve

And more fed news. Although its a whole lot of nothing…

Fed Governor Lisa Cook Offers First Defense of Mortgage Records

I’m hearing from some friends who work at the WH that it’s Hasset

Pathetic that Warsh debased himself with this fawning jibberish

Pathetic. You would think Warsh and his skincare money would be able to do better. Trump loves billionaires and he is one by proxy.

I wonder which jackass came up with this autopen nonsense.

My guy at the White House told me Susie Wiles is pushing hard against Hassett and would prefer either Warsh or Waller (though Waller seems dead in the water at this point).

Markets don’t think powell is going to stick around post chair. Means another governor spot opens

Waller’s not out

So any bets on Kevin raising rates? I saw Waller already is suggesting it.

No idea about Warsh’s views on rates, but hot off the press:

How’d you get the full memo? All the news sources I’ve seen only seem to quote it.

Someone has friends at the Fed

Did you make friends with Econ Job Rumors? Looks like they finally found out about Barr’s affairs.

WTF is wrong with that thread. There is a million spam? posts about Chinks? Its unreadable.

Don’t blame him. Look at what’s waiting at home :confounded_face:

Who the hell is this C. Boggs girl that they keep on going on about

Hot Basel endgame girl :winking_face_with_tongue:

It looks like they fixed their spam issue. The thread has some interesting insights into how dysfunctional the Fed is.
