The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I have heard that before....just attack the ideas.

finance.yahoo.com - Stephen miran pledges to uphold fed independence without giving up white house role

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) asked if the president would have him continue to serve as chair of the Council of Economic Advisers if Miran didn't vote the way the president wanted.

"I do not know the inside of anyone else's mind," Miran said. "What I can tell you is that if I am confirmed in the Federal Reserve, I will act independently based on my own independent analysis of the economy and climate policy."

Ideas with no merit, first, he did not answer the question, he deflected. Second, he does not act independently with sound judgment. Third, his analysis of the economy is completely flawed from what we are seeing out of this administration. Fourth, how did climate policy get into this?
