Former Obama Treasury adviser in New York Times: ‘The Fed should make amends for its mistakes’
Fox News
Steven Rattner, who worked at the Department of Treasury during the Obama presidency, criticized the U.S. Federal Reserve for being slow to act on inflation.
Joe Silverstein is a production assistant for Fox News Digital.
But, he said, "The Fed has yet to evince a full grip on this reality," arguing that "far more substantial interest rate increases have always been necessary to restrain fast rising prices."
The economist noted that while raising the interest rates are necessary, "higher rates slow inflation by slowing the economy, which in turn means fewer jobs, higher unemployment and often, a recession."
