The Only Proper Function of the U.S. Federal Reserve

Post by bobevenson »

The only proper function of the U.S. Federal Reserve is to eliminate inflation by controlling the money supply. It should not be involved in establishing monetary interest rates, creating jobs, or any other goddamn thing that comes to mind!

So, in the event of a recession, where inflation is of no concern, we should not use monetary policy to get the economy going again? Should we rely on fiscal policy instead, which takes years to implement because of political bickering and seldom accomplishes much as it is usually implemented after the economic problem has already been solved by monetary policy? The reason why most economists prefer monetary policy over fiscal policy is because it can be implemented faster than fiscal policy can. This is also one of the principal reasons behind FED independence.
