We Need a Stable Federal Reserve Policy Driven by Deregulation and Tax Cuts: Mark Skousen

The interest rate strategy, that's what the Fed focuses on rather than the money supply, which I think is a mistake.
But in terms of interest rates, why not let the bond market tell us what to do?
And actually, yields have been coming down slightly, and mortgage rates have been coming down slightly.
So that suggests that maybe you could cut interest rates, but I wouldn't go overboard because the biggest problem with the Federal Reserve over the years is that we've created a boom-bust cycle through easy money-type money, easy money-type money.
And we've gone through a period of easy money after with the Biden administration.
Interest rates were declining and so forth.
And then afterwards, in 23, 24, you saw interest rates move back up, inflation taking off and so forth.
You want a stable Fed policy.
That's really the key.
And it sounds like President Trump wants an easy money policy, which always leads to a boom-bust cycle.
