Hatfield: Powell Has Failed Duty, Ouster Good Idea

Jay Hatfield thinks getting rid of Powell is actually a good idea. “Powell thinks money supply doesn’t matter…it’s like the Pope not believing in Jesus.” He calls the current Fed “horrendous forecasters” with a “probably the worst [record] since World War 2.” He focuses on the real estate market and severe housing shortages to back his point. He also thinks the Fed is “massively overstating” inflation and thinks they need to cut rates now and reevaluate later. If not, he claims they will cause a small recession “if they’re lucky.”
