Ugh, this is crazy 
! I mean, who wants to be threatened by their own administration? 
It's like they think Jerome Powell is some kind of puppet that can be controlled? 
I get it, the Fed needs to keep its independence, but come on, can't we just have a civil discussion about interest rates instead of this drama? 
And what's with the Senate guy Tom Tillis wanting to block any Trump nominee for the Fed until this gets sorted out? 
That's like, two steps forward and one step back, right? 
I guess it's good that Powell's standing up for himself and the Fed, but still...this is just a big mess.
