Our country is now saddled with weak and spineless leadership at The Fed and Treasury. Kevin "I'm not saying" Warsh dares not to say anything about the economy and what the Federal Reserve Bank is collectively thinking, and wishes that people would stop even looking at him. Why? He is terrified that his views on inflation are in direct conflict with the views of the man who put him in his job, and Warsh doesn't want to be insulted and belittled. Swell--a Fed chair with thin skin.
At Treasury, Americans have the worst Treasury Secretary in at least 100 years in Scott "I'm neuter--not gay" Bessent, who is currently trying his own form of Fed open market operations, in this case his actions are like paying a mortgage payment with a credit card. Bessent is clearly afraid of being fired, which would result in the shattering of his already weakened reputation on Wall Street.
Der Dotard is getting what he asked for--weak, ineffectual department heads who are deferring to their boss in all matters relating to their jobs, and thus foisting blame on the boss...
Drinky Pete thinks his Pentagon looks like "Top Gun" and the first half of "American Sniper" at once, when it really looks like "Catch-22". Funny how his boss, with that "American Alone" nonsense, has awoken friend and foe, resulting in greater danger from Russia and China, and former allies more willing and able to fend for themselves, or in an alliance which excludes the US.
Sadly, the probability of an attack on Eastern Europe or Taiwan by one of our adversaries is much greater today then when Diamond Joe was in office--and everyone knows it...
