Wait, are they talking about Lisa Cook here? Or Donald Trump's New York real estate business? I can't quite make out the difference...

It's not good news. It's a witch hunt. It starts with the head of the central bank. It ends with the person in charge of the dollar photocopying machine. The dollar is a worthless photo. Rather, it becomes a historical coin for collectors, as happened in the past with the Roman coins or the Spanish peso.

Integrity of some Feb Governors was questionable at best. No wonder such a scandal is public now.

There is only one person who must resign now because he is not functioning at all and that is the Don (Trump) himself. Unfortunately he is not qualified for the job in the Oval Office.

Minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee
From federalreserve.gov | Aug 20, 2025 | 129 comments
Participants continued their discussion related to the ongoing review of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy strategy, tools, and communication practices (framework review). They observed that they had made important progress toward revising the Committee's Statement on Longer-Run Goals and Monetary Policy Strategy (consensus statement). Participants discussed potential revisions to the consensus statement that would incorporate lessons learned from economic developments since the 2020 framework review and would be designed to be robust across a wide range of economic conditions. Participants noted that the Committee was close to finalizing changes to the consensus statement and would do so in the near future. The manager turned first to a review of financial market developments. Over the intermeeting period, the expected path of the policy rate and longer-term Treasury yields were little changed, equity prices increased, credit spreads narrowed, and the dollar depreciated slightly. The manager noted that markets continued to be attentive to news related to trade policy, though markets' reaction to incoming information on this topic was more restrained than in April and May. Against this backdrop, the manager reported that the Open Market Desk's Survey of Market Expectations (Desk survey) indicated that the median respondent's expectations regarding both real gross domestic product (GDP) growth and inflation were roughly unchanged. *FED: MANY NOTED FULL EFFECT OF TARIFFS COULD TAKE SOME TIME *FED: SEVERAL NOTED CONCERNS ABOUT ELEVATED ASSET VALUATIONS *FED: MAJORITY SAW INFLATION RISK OUTWEIGHING EMPLOYMENT RISK Fed Minutes: Some participants said it would not be feasible or appropriate to wait for complete clarity on the tariffs' effects on inflation before adjusting monetary policy. Fed Minutes: Several participants said that the current target range for the federal funds rate may not be far above its neutral level.
