The feds job isn't to save the stock market, it's to keep inflation and unemployment low. Lowering rates now does nothing for either.

I mean I was confused why Biden kept him on but he has proven to know what he is doing. He has lowered inflation without a recession.

Lmao the Pres doesn't have control to dismiss the Fed chair. They can nominate in conjunction with the Senate.

Edit: my bad forgot his term was up in 2022 and Biden could have replaced.

Biden had the opportunity to appoint someone else in 2022, but instead he reappointed JPow. It was about dismissing him

Ahh I see his term was up under Biden. Apologies
