Again, with this nonsense. How did he do this, by poisoning the FOMC's coffee? He couldn't even get Diamond past Republicans, but somehow he controls half of the Fed. Oh, or are you trying to say that the largest private market failure in post WW2 history forced the Fed's hand? Let's face it---when the market goes down, you blame the President. You should shape up and be consistent.
From a feasibility standpoint, which is easier -- having the Fed print money, or striking a bargain with Congress on fiscal matters?
You're talking about two institutions the President has diminished direct, and tangible control over. Except one of those institutions is competent and doing its' fu**king job.
