This footage of Trump and Federal Reserve chairman Powell at the Federal Reserve construction site is absolutely amazing. What a time to be alive.

He really should have said "Mr. President, you're full of sh*t."

They have Powell there to more or less gang up on him to ridicule him about his "over spending." Powell is smarter than both of them put together.

I generally don't know enough about Powell, but being in the MMT space, I don't agree with some of the policies I can understand. But the way Powell does everything he can to respectfully show Trump he doesn't respect him or his power will forever get my respect. Powell has zero fucks to give. Lol

Taking off the helmet was to signal the sharpshooter, but he was laughing so hard, then he legit forgot if he was supposed to false flag the one or grease the other.

I’m surprised he didn’t just say if you lower interest rates I won’t bitch about your building 😂

Thanks, Nathan. I always appreciate your perspective. Could your views on this be summarized as that the problem is that the idea of "independence" here conflates *general* agency independence and the more mystic idea of the central bank going *beyond* the idea of mere agency independence?

Like, should we be asking here what it would look like if we treated The Fed as if its independence was *merely* the same kind of independence as if it were, say, the Surface Transportation Board and actually be able to openly question their decisions?

Okay, thanks! I am reading this now, and one impression that I get from it - actually, I already somewhat knew this, but your essay made it much more explicit - is that this idea of "central bank independence" and Monetarism are essentially necessary components of each other!

Reading your piece also reminded me of this 2019 piece about agencies having legal authority to essentially legislate technical details to burdensome and common for Congress to handle. www.newyorker.com/news/our-col... I think that I had a point to make with this, but I forgot what it was!
aug 12, 2025, 12:38 am • 1 0 • view
Also, until I read your piece, I hadn't really appreciated the point that this mystic and outsized sense of independence has the effect of prompting other government agencies to think that this thing that we call "The Economy" is not their job.

It’s the bully at work with his hard hat on. His love of humiliating those who go against him shows the essence of his cruelty. He wants control of the Federal reserve and will use YOUR money for his own ends. It’s beyond time this empty shell of a man is humiliated. Then watch him crumble.
