Dodd and Frank call on Biden to renominate Powell to chair the Fed
The Hill ^ | 09/13/2021 | CHRIS DODD AND BARNEY FRANK

Posted on 09/13/2021 1:05:37 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

We believe the national interest will be best served by President Biden reappointing Jerome Powell to chair the Federal Reserve System.

The most important issue facing us today is the enactment of President Biden’s comprehensive program responding not just to the ravages of COVID-19 but to the underlying social and economic problems that have exacerbated its effects. Reappointing Mr. Powell will provide strong support for this essential step.

We are not predicting a diminution of the Fed’s independence. Whatever one thinks of the rule that presidents should not tell the Fed what to do, it is clear that Mr. Powell is a believer — as Donald Trump discovered to his dismay. In fact, this is very much why Powell’s explicit refutation of the economic argument against the Biden plan carries so much weight.

Frank won’t be satisfied until he can facilitate another
collapse.

There’s no one else in line who would do much different from Powell so it doesn’t matter which one of them is at the helm. Any differences are more smoke than fire.

Dodd and Frank directly responsible for Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac loaning money that led to the 2008 economic crash. They blocked legislation 17 times that could have prevented this event, that destroyed so many people lives.

Do you really want to take advice from two people that already crashed the economy???

There is no reason why Powell shouldn’t get another term except for the fact that he’s a Trump appointee. That may be the kiss of death for him.

These two grifters should be ashamed to show their faces in public.

CHRIS DODD AND BARNEY FRANK, the prime architects of the 2008 financial collapse. Shooting for another, I assume.

One appointment by Trump I truly did not understand at all even if you go purely pragmatic - may as well have reappointed Yellen than to have appointed this guy.

Chris Wray was another.

"Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not in a crisis...we see entities that are fundamentally sound financially." - Barney Frank

The Dems were behind this - but with the help of the media they successfully deflected blame. Their massive success in getting the public to believe this Big Lie was never successfully refuted - and most still believe these lies today.

“Chris Dodd and Barney Frank . . . say no more.”

Is “whoremonger and faggot,” too much more?
