FED UP!

摘要

Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen isn't feeling a lot of love. She's under attack from both conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats. She's fending off a House of Representatives subpoena regarding a leak of economic data. And Americans in a Gallup Poll last November ranked the Fed second-to-last among 13 federal agencies for performance, just ahead of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Most recently, House Financial Services Chairman Jeb Hensarling told Yellen during her semiannual testimony on monetary policy on July 15 that the Fed's guidance has been "somewhat amorphous, opaque, and improvisational."
