WARREN’S MONETARY POLICY PROPOSAL
Elizabeth Warren, the progressive Democratic Senator from Massachusetts, has proposed that the Federal Reserve make an aggressive 75 basis point interest rate cut. She believes this is necessary to offset the potential negative impact of the trade war and the possibility of an economic slowdown.
WHY IT MATTERS
– Warren argues that a preventative measure is required to avert a potential recession. Her proposal is a departure from the common view in Washington that the Fed should be left to set its policy independently.
– Critics, however, point out that a drastic cut could fuel inflation and could leave the Fed with little room to maneuver if a recession does occur.
