Powell’s under fire with this DOJ referral over a $2.5B Fed reno, but let’s cut the noise. 

Those cost overruns (up from $1.9B per the Feb ’25 IG report) reflect asbestos abatement and inflation, not perjury. Trump’s crew, including Hassett, wants a patsy to slash rates and juice debt markets, but Powell’s steady hand kept the 2023 recession mild. 

Firing him risks destabilizing the 10-year yield, already shaky at 4.2%, and tanking the S&P 500’s XX% YTD run. Congress can grandstand, but the data backs Powell’s tenure. 

Leave the man alone, he’s the last bulwark against a rate-cut circus.
