Help me remember. Did politicians tell banks to give loans to people who were at risk for not being able to pay them off?
@OriginalWhiteDevil5 ай бұрын
Yes. That happened during the Clinton administration when they deregulated Wall Street banks and told them to find whatever ways they can to approve mortgage loans for people who normally wouldn't qualify. One way was to rely on stated income. A person says, without having to show any proof, "I make $200,000 a year." The bank says, "Sounds like you can afford it. Approved."

Not only did the politicians tell the banks to give loans to people that can't afford it. The gov would go after those institutions that didn't give loans to people who couldn't afford it.

Warren always picks a fight with Powell about something. She did not engage him in a cooperative dialog, when he might've been happy to gather the pertinent data about executive compensation. She is not dumb, but showboating doesn't make good policy.

She did NOT bring the receipts... WTH... when he says "no i don't believe you." You don't say go back and check. You bring up the exact document date, and then you quote it. I think we all agree no bonuses to bank executives when the bank is having issues and their customers are suffering and no one condones risky behavior when the risky behavior is exposed legitimately. But bring the receipts if you're going to make the accusations... TALK is cheap...

It seems a bit hypocritical to hear members of congress, no matter how correct or good their intentions are, demand someone else in the government, with a LOT less power to institute changes of this order and specificity, to Do. Their. Job. I get the Fed doesnt want to be political but GD sometimes when the politico's refuse to act it falls to the rest of the crew to save the ship. I cant help but wonder if him being a Republican is blinding him or holding him back from seeing/doing things that need systemic reforms for the health of the greater economy longterm.

Overall, I like Jerome Powell more than dislike Jerome Powell. It angered me that he printed money way more and longer than what I would have felt that he should have and loss badly buying QQQ and puts and Sqqq calls and shares and buying forex contracts bullish on the dollar. When the stock market way beyond the high before the "pandemic". Now I am receiving a loss from the effects of the high inflation mostly cause as well as paying my own bills but also having to loan money to friends cause none of them have enough money to pay for their own rents. In a way it did make me feel a little bit better as I giggled watching her smack Powell a little from another person.

The Federal Reserve should use data to set interest rate policy. Presidents invariably want interest rates to go down, which generates inflation. The Fed is not under the command of the president, for good reason. Countries that do not have independent central banks often wreck their economies.
