I am old, but I can vaguely remember a time long ago in a galaxy far, far away when incompetent government employees were fired for making a series of critical mistakes.

Nobody is accountable anymore, at any level. The more you mess up, the more power they give you.

Good catch. He was talking about a Disney movie, not inflation.

Powell tried and tried to create inflation, but the economy stubbornly resisted. Inflation is good for anyone who is in deep debt, such as the US government.

FINALLY, Powell's efforts paid off and we started to see a little inflation. What a relief! Powell assured us that it was nothing to worry about, merely transitory.

Then inflation got worse. And worse. Oops. Inflation might be good for those in debt, but it's bad for everyone else.

So Biden decided the person he could trust to fix inflation was Powell. But, uh, wasn't it Powell who did his very best to create inflation?

Is Biden maybe confused??

Well they have made it clear they want high energy prices. They have done their best to drive up prices by restricting supply. And they thought that wouldn't affect the rest of the economy?

"Fed Chair Jerome Powell: “Our Judgment…Proved To Be Incorrect,” Inflation Was Not “Transitory”…


Sad that many common people were smarter than these.
