ECN 135 Fed independence The Federal Reserve System discussion

Read the above article about “Fed independence” and discuss the following. Should President Trump reduce the independence of the Fed? State your opinion and then provide some facts/evidence to support it. Note, there is no right or wrong stance to take, the key is to simply have an opinion and then argue for that opinion using facts and evidence from the course and other sources.

Your response must be 400 to 600 words.Please feel free to use information from class or other sources (Google searches and reading information online, reading other articles, etc.). Just do not copy someone else’s writing or ideas verbatim. That is plagiarism. I reserve the right to run written assignments through plagiarism software (e.g. turnitin.com).
