Since taxes are at some of their lowest levels in history, why has it not trickled down like Republicans argue?

Being honest is understanding a Fed Chairman could address it.

Thats....actually the scariest sentence I can recall typing recently. Damn.

If a fed chairman tried to, you would quickly find out that the well bought congress and senate would hsut him down instantly.

They don't have the ability.

Bwahahahhaa. Really? You believe that?

They can't be removed from the chairmanship for their policy opinions. Thats true.....but...

#1 assuming anyone willing to challenge things COULD get past the senate confirmation hearings....if things went south for them this would be the headline in the next weeks paper

"The banking act of XXXX Passed today modifying the banking act of 1935 making the chairman of the federal reserve a honorary position that can only vote in tie breaking decisions of the newly appointed board"

For an example of this-take a look at whats occurred with the Consumer financial protection Bureau, until they finally agreed on someone many were trying to make it a board ran group-which would have allowed them to easily stuff the deck. As it is....what has the CFP done lately?

More importantly.....what EXACTLY do you believe the federal reserves chairmans powers are? Mostly he or she guides committees.....of people chosen by the banks. The chairman of the fed is the public face. Not the primary decision maker. Think about that for a second.

Its not about who was president, or who was in charge, its about wealth, and power.

Explain to me this economic theory of Democrats which involve adding more people to welfare in order to reduce poverty...

So you laugh, back off and agree. O.K.

A first term president is going to get nearly anyone that want through the first time. Obama's popularity was still quite high at the time.

GREAT!!! It would be a start and a huge win for someone who claimed to support the things Obama said he supported.

If the chairman decides it's time to raise rates, rates go up.
