It's "rein him in." Like a horse's rein.

You say that like it's a bad thing...

The tragedy is that he will be the first in the life boats! It's always somebody's else's fault.

Sure, while the rest of the world is in the 21st century, we are going back to 1930. Make that make sense.

In all fairness, Powell is known for being late to the party as he waits for "what the data shows", he's often 2-6 behind as "the data" lags what's actually happening quite a bit.

As opposed to someone who makes policies based on uneducated whims and feelings? We have enough of that with Trump. If there aren’t grownups at the federal reserve the stock and bond market will both crash. Central bank independence is essential for a reason-to protect the financial system from the whims of politicians.

Yes federal reserve board is known for “moving fast and breaking things”! The less Trump and other average Americans Monday quarterback the Fed; the better our country will be. Nothing worse than having the guy who barely passed remedial math and graduated high school give his opinion on Powell. Stick to your lane people!
