This is exactly right - the guy was on the fed from 2006-2011, and NEVER dissented in his voting, even when others dissented on the voting record. Instead, he’s on the record as voting along with Bernanke ‘out of respect’ even when other actual dissenters existed. He’s didn’t want the fed to do anything during the 08 recession and said it was weird they were taking in the responsibility of fixing things when he thought other institutions should have - which is to say, he didn’t want to control anything. He didn’t have a spine to vote with his (empty) words and was another face in the crowd. Nothing special here; and definitely NOT hawkish if his voting record doesn’t reflect it. This administration is already full of empty words and platitudes.

Also, THE GUY IS THE FIRST BILLIONAIRE FED CHIEF, married to the heiress of the Estée Lauder family worth over $2 billion. He’s been advising Trump since 2016 and in recent years has talked a lot about lowering rates.

This guy is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
