Breitbart News economics editor John Carney said Friday on Fox Business Network's “Kudlow” that President-elect Donald Trump will have the power to fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell once he takes office. said.
Guest host David Assmann said, “Jay Powell was talking about fiscal responsibility yesterday, and of course people wonder about the Fed's responsibility to inform Congress and the White House when it's not being fiscally responsible. There are some, but please wrap the tape and get a reply.”
“The United States' finances, the federal government's fiscal path, and fiscal policy are on an unsustainable path,” Powell said. We have very large deficits, we have full employment, and we expect that to continue. So it's important that we deal with it. It is ultimately a threat to the economy. ”
“Well, where was he with all the deficit spending that the Biden administration was rolling out?” Assmann said.
“Yes, we should have heard from him back in 2021 when the Biden administration was rolling out another $2 trillion American Rescue Plan,” Carney said.
Furthermore, he added: “They've been really quiet about it. In fact, they've covered it. They've done monetary easing, which means the Fed has to keep doing all this, That pushes inflation to the roof, and then He argued that it would be temporary, not sustainable, meaning they provided the cover the Biden administration needed to continue spending, and now he knows it's an unsustainable path. Donald Trump should ignore him. In fact, I think Donald Trump has the legal authority to remove him from office. I don't think the Supreme Court will be on his side. But Donald Trump won't do that. He's not going to fire Jay Powell because he's going to get into a legal battle that may not be resolved until the Jay Powell issue is already over. It’s also because it becomes.”
