Last week, headlines further detailed that president Biden was nearing his decision and Lael Brainard was noted as a top pick. Following Biden’s choice to renominate Powell for a second term, U.S. Treasury secretary Janet Yellen said that the decision would allow America’s economy to “continue to benefit from his stewardship.”
“America needs steady, independent, and effective leadership at the Federal Reserve so it can advance its dual goals of keeping inflation low and prices stable, as well as creating a strong labor market that broadly benefits workers with better jobs and higher wages,” the White House explained in a statement concerning Powell’s renomination. The White House added: President Biden has full confidence in Powell and Brainard’s experience, judgment, and integrity to continue delivering on those mandates and to help build our economy back better for working families.

The economist and gold bug, Peter Schiff, explained that this is likely the case. “As expected Biden renominated Powell as Fed chair,” Schiff tweeted. The economist continued: Despite [him doing] lousy jobs, as evidenced by maintaining QE and ZIRP in the face of the highest inflation in 30 years, Powell was the politically safe choice. With Brainard as vice-chair, inflation is assured to get worse.
People also highlighted that Jerome Powell oversaw the U.S. monetary supply expand more so than ever before in America’s history. No doubt we live in interesting times when Jerome Powell, the man who saw a 40% expansion in the money supply in months and tacked $5 trillion onto the Fed’s balance sheet in the time it takes to get a Domino’s Pizza delivered, is the ‘hawkish’ choice,” an individual dubbed “Quoth the Raven” wrote.
