Is Jerome Powell Doing a Good Job?

This week, Matt, John, and Eli discuss the Fed, its role in the United States economy and government, Trump’s recent comments about Jerome Powell the Chair of the Federal Reserve, Trump’s 100 days in office, recessions across history, and our recent stock market volatility. The three debate on the Fed’s performance, if they’ve gotten better over time, or if they overstep in course correcting. They also discuss recessions and the gold standard - whether being off the standard is helping us not enter long recession periods.  

A few of the highlights include:  

• Recession frequency and length across U.S. history 
• Trump’s comments on Jerome Powell and his 100 days in office  
• Whether the Fed is doing a good job
