"In this speech Kevin Warsh is: - Skeptical of data - Skeptical of models - Skeptical of forecasting - Skeptical of explicit targets Exactly how should the Fed set the funds rate What would be a measure success My favorite Warsh speech: "Challenging the Groupthink of the Guild" which I saw Kevin give in [----] in DC. Prescient in many ways. It was Fed Groupthink that brought us Team Transitory & slow response to 2020s inflation.

The 2-year embeds expectations about what the Fed will do. If the Fed ties its policy rate mechanically to it this creates feedback loops and potential instability. Mandate.

"Tom Keene: "What is your advice to Chairman Warsh to get through the first six months. Me: "Unfortunately Kevin Warsh may need to start with an apology. He's been pretty tough on the staff and current Fed officials. It's maybe the campaign to get the job I wholeheartedly agree with Fed can do better . but he's said some pretty fiery stuff about people whose help he is going to need very soon. . if some of his campaign 'promises' of breaking heads laying off people happen he will have a pretty tough six months.""

What every asset bubble--every single one--has in common is financial institutions dropping credit standards. We've had asset bubbles with high interest rates and low interest rates with and without the Fed expanding its balance sheet. But every last one features reckless lending and leverage. Aggressively deregulating banks can open the door to this. Impairing the Fed's ability to intervene in bursting bubbles would only"
