EJ Antoni at the moment:
“I believe Trump is admittedly holding a grudge, and rightly so” famous Antoni, “I’m undecided that there’s something Trump can do to work with this establishment [the Fed]. I believe what he actually must do is clear home.
As foundation for this advice, he argues that the Fed has been political in dropping rates of interest throughout the Biden-Harris administration, whereas doubtless holding charges below Trump 2.0. After all, Dr. Antoni doesn’t make a lot reference to the Taylor rule — which will be excused as his dissertation was in public finance — however the rule means that the present price is acceptable.
Supply: Atlanta Fed.
I need to say the inconsistency I see is that, as Dr. Antoni has been arguing that the US has been in recession since July or August, and such situations it might’ve made good sense to cut back rate of interest. (I don’t know what Dr. Antoni has been arguing is the state of the economic system because the election.)
My solely query is who Dr. Antoni has in thoughts to be Trump’s Walther Funk.
