Jerome Powell
Discussion focused on Powell as the outgoing Fed chair and as a contrast with Kevin Warsh. Chris Whalen blamed Powell for cutting rates six times across 2024 and 2025 and for being insufficiently forceful with Congress on deficits 5, while Michael Pento said Powell expanded the Fed’s balance sheet by $200 billion during his final five months 8. Others argued that Powell had made Fed policy unusually predictable, whereas Warsh has made markets less certain 1, and that Powell’s past interventions helped create the conditions now confronting markets 49.
