I suspect not since they probably have done or would do the same thing because they are \u201cSpecial People\u201d who, because of their exalted status as \u201cSenior Economists\u201d don\u2019t have to follow the same rules everyone else does.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>The signatories \u2014 including Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz and former Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers Jared Bernstein \u2014 warn that attempts to undermine Cook\u2019s position could erode confidence in one of the nation\u2019s most critical economic institutions. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>What confidence? Certainly not mine. Anyone who has studied the Fed knows that they have failed in their mission since the day they started business.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>&#8220;Recent public statements about Governor Cook\u2014including threats of removal and a claim that she has been fired\u2014have arrived alongside unproven accusations,&#8221; the group of more than 590 economists wrote on Tuesday. <\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>&#8220;This approach threatens the fundamental principle of central bank independence and undermines trust in one of America\u2019s most important institutions,&#8221; the group added. <\/b><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/6b\/0d\/dd\/6b0dddb274a5b4997aa642ad950cde6f.jpg?resize=404%2C470&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"404\" height=\"470\" \/><\/p>\n<p>First, regarding the accusations against Cook, yes, she hasn\u2019t been charged yet, but that isn\u2019t surprising. The DoJ is still in the investigative phase. Second, things seem to be going from bad to worse for Cook. There are reports that the \u201cPrimary Homes\u201d she\u2019s bought, besides the fact she\u2019s never lived in any of them, are being rented out. Further, it looks like she might not have paid taxes on the income from those rentals. Third, there are other reports that her \u201cScholarly work\u201d was a pile of steaming manure and that she may have plagiarized sections of it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>The letter was organized by Tatyana Deryugina, an associate finance professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and comes as Cook sues President <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/category\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u><b>Donald Trump<\/b><\/u><\/a><b> in federal court after he moved to fire her over mortgage allegations. <\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>&#8220;I organized this letter because I know that most economists learn about and understand the importance of central bank independence. But it may not be obvious to the American public and at least some politicians how important that independence is for economic stability and what independence from political influence should look like in practice,&#8221; wrote Deryugina in a statement to Fox News Digital.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>&#8220;I wanted the letter to illustrate the consensus in the profession to the President, Congress, and the American public,&#8221; Deryugina added. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>I did a little digging into Ms. Deryugina. Surprising no one, it doesn\u2019t appear that has has worked a day in her life in the Dreaded Private Sector. She is just another ivory tower intellectual with not a lot of clues how the real world works.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>As it stands, Trump says Cook is fired, effective immediately. But Cook and her lawyers argue that Trump has no legal authority to remove her. And so, the unprecedented case is likely bound for the <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/politics\/judiciary\/supreme-court\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u><b>Supreme Court.<\/b><\/u><\/a><b> <\/b><\/p>\n<p>As I understand it, the President does have the ability to fire governors over malfeasance. However, this will be going to SCOTUS and that could end up being very bad, not just for Cook, but for the Federal Reserve itself. For all intents and purposes, there is no congressional or executive oversight of the Federal Reserve Board. They are, again for all intents and purposes, a law unto themselves. This would put them in opposition to the Constitution. It isn\u2019t beyond the realm of possibility that the court could rule that the Federal Reserve is an illegal institution.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/0e\/79\/bb\/0e79bb4ad22c99d20b2d95a81e8a60a6.jpg?resize=416%2C405&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"416\" height=\"405\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Cook\u2019s appointment was a historic first, as she became the first Black woman to serve as a governor on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, commonly known as the Fed board.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n<p>She was nothing more than another Biden Maladministration DEI hire. Her only qualifications were her skin color and her gender.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Congress designed the Federal Reserve to stand apart from politics, granting its top members a staggered 14-year term, longer than any presidency, to shield the institution from partisan influence. <\/b><\/p>\n<p>And this is what may sink the Federal Reserve in the end. Congress can\u2019t delegate powers like this under the Constitution. I recall a similar case involving the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) That may be used as precedent in the removal of Lisa Cook.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, this could all become moot if Cook is actually indicted and arrested. She could technically win, at least in the Obama or Biden courts, and as she and her lawyer are crowing about beating Trump, the cuffs are snapped on her wrists and she\u2019s carted away for booking. Personally, I think it\u2019s time to End the Fed and the best thing to do is to send in the DOGE auditors and see what games the Federal Reserve has been doing since it\u2019s inception.<\/p>\n<p>Thatisall<\/p>\n<span id=\"post-ratings-45649\" class=\"post-ratings\" data-nonce=\"1b162a5468\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_45649_1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"1 Star\" title=\"1 Star\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(45649, 1, '1 Star');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_45649_2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"2 Stars\" title=\"2 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(45649, 2, '2 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_45649_3\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"3 Stars\" title=\"3 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(45649, 3, '3 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_45649_4\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"4 Stars\" title=\"4 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(45649, 4, '4 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_45649_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"5 Stars\" title=\"5 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(45649, 5, '5 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(5, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/> (<strong>3<\/strong> votes, average: <strong>5.00<\/strong> out of 5)<br \/><span class=\"post-ratings-text\" id=\"ratings_45649_text\"><\/span><\/span><span id=\"post-ratings-45649-loading\" class=\"post-ratings-loading\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/loading.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" class=\"post-ratings-image\" \/>Loading...<\/span>\n<p><i><b>~The Angry Webmaster~<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good day all.
