Breitbart: Breitbart Business Digest: How Trump Can Break the Fed's Groupthink Problem
Larry Kudlow argues that the Federal Reserve has succumbed to bureaucratic groupthink, resulting in unanimous decisions with no dissent. He suggests that President Trump has a unique chance to diversify the Fed by appointing independent thinkers like Christopher Waller, Joe Lavorgna, and either Neil Dutta or Stephen Miran.
These appointments could disrupt the Fed's conformity and promote flexible, scenario-based policymaking. Kudlow believes that such changes would lead to a more transparent and responsive Federal Reserve, moving away from the current norm of unanimous votes and fostering a culture of open debate.
