The Fed’s Lisa Cook: From Trump’s Fire to Monetary Policy Wire
It seems Ms. Cook has momentarily stepped away from her epic battle with the former President-who, let’s face it, probably spends more time tweeting than governing these days-to address a crowd of economists and policy wonks. 🎭 “My assessment is that inflation is on track to continue on its trend toward our target of 2% once the tariff effects are behind us,” she declared, as if predicting the weather rather than the fate of the American economy. She added, with the gravitas of a woman who’s seen it all, that she would “act forcefully” if tariffs proved more troublesome than expected. One imagines her cracking her knuckles, ready to unleash the fury of monetary policy. 💥
