Many call Powell’s track record “solid” and say inflation would’ve been worse without him.
Reality: five years of above-target inflation.
As Stanley Druckenmiller put it:
“The Fed’s job is to avoid big mistakes — like the massive inflation we just had. Powell is obsessed with engineering a soft landing and protecting his legacy. But the only reason we even need a landing is because they let inflation run from 2% to 9%. This Fed shows again and again that they think changing their mind means losing credibility.”
Powell didn’t save the economy.
He helped create the mess.
