đš BREAKING â Treasury Chief SLAMS the Federal Reserve: âOutdated. Out of Touch. And Heading for Collapse.â đŁ
Washington just got shaken â hard.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Basent didnât just criticize the Fed⊠he declared war on it. âïž
Following the Fedâs 25bps rate cut, Basent went on record calling the central bankâs entire framework âbroken beyond repair.â
He accused Powellâs team of being stuck in the past, using models that belong in museums, and missing every major call on inflation and growth over the past two years. đ
đ„ Is Powell on his way out?
Basent hinted that a âPhase Two Evaluationâ of Fed leadership is already on the calendar for December â and insiders are whispering that a replacement shortlist could be finalized before Christmas. đ
If true, this could mark the biggest shift in U.S. monetary leadership in decades.
đ„ The Core Clash:
1. Lagging Policy: The Treasury says the Fed is always one step behind real-world data.
2. Internal Chaos: Staff divisions and outdated analytics are crippling decision-making.
3. Reality Gap: The Fedâs models, Basent argues, no longer match modern financial dynamics.
Basent ended with a cold, cutting line:
> âWe donât need a cautious pilot steering yesterdayâs plane. We need an architect â ready to rebuild the entire system.â đ§±đŹ
Meanwhile, Powell stayed measured in his reply, blaming data gaps and government shutdown delays for the Fedâs conservative stance â but the damage was done.
đïžâđšïž This isnât just policy tension â itâs a power struggle.
The Treasury vs. The Fed.
Old guard vs. new order.
And Trumpâs administration? Watching closely â ready to pull the trigger on a new era of economic control.
