@abcnews: Following the Fed's decision to cut interest rates for the second time this year, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged economic damage wrought by the government shutdown — but downplayed its enduring impact. "The shutdown of the federal government will weigh on economic activity while it persists," Powell said, "but these effects should reverse when the shutdown ends."

I don't believe him.

Mery Dominguez Mongeotti :

It seems like Powell is trying to reassure the public that the shutdown’s impact will be temporary. However, it's hard to ignore how much di

Sam Kentucky :

I agree with Powell’s view. The shutdown might slow things for now, but the key is how fast recovery follows once it’s over.👍🏻

Because most of the lawmakers on both sides can’t do their jobs and open back up the government.

This is shameful. You could see the shame in his face. He needs to get real, and he needs to say what he really wants to say because we already know what needs to be said and what needs to be done.

It seems like Powell is trying to reassure the public that the shutdown’s impact will be temporary. However, it's hard to ignore how much disruption it causes in the short term, especially with the economy already facing other challenges.

The Federal Reserve isn't even a federal agency. There's no need for it to hold the control it does over our financial well-being. Dissolve it already, and return the power of the dollar back to the Treasury.
