Default Re: Fed Rate Cut Discussion Thread

Bernanke/Fed Chairs has a 6-yr term which will last past the next 2 elections, he's not loyal to anyone over and above the economy as a whole.

Clinton wasn't scared of AG, he was scared of the bond market, which took rates from 5.75% to 8.3% in 9 months because they didn't like his initial tax&spend policies and attempted restructuring of the US economy.

It wasn't AG who took long rates up 2.5% that fast...it was the market.
