Powell was asked what the Federal Reserve can do to make the economy more resilient to these type of shocks. The question is ironic as its the Fed's fault the economy is so vulnerable to these shocks in the first place. What's needed is more savings, which requires higher interest rates!

Two Wrongs Do Not Make A Right
Unfortunately, there is now a growing consensus that since we have abandoned capitalism during bad times, we must also abandon it during good times. If we socialize the losses, we must also socialize the profits. While this is logically consistent, two wrongs don't make a right.
How Long Before A Currency Crisis?
The national debt now exceeds 24.6 trillion dollars. It was just two weeks ago that it hit 24 trillion dollars.
We are adding $1 trillion per month to the national debt. That was the size of the entire national debt as late as Oct. 1981.
How much longer can this pace continue without a crisis?
