People always talk about how the Fed's supposed to cool things down when markets overheat—you know, take away the liquidity before everyone gets too drunk on easy money. But here's the thing: if Kevin Hassett steps into Powell's shoes next year? Don't hold your breath for any tightening. That punch bowl's staying full. Maybe even getting refilled.

Ngl, Hassett coming to power is just to inject some energy into the market, don’t expect him to tighten his belt, haha.

Nah Hassett directly pumps liquidity when he takes office, the Fed's intention is obvious.

Hassett takes office? Then just wait and see the Fed continue point shaving, anyway, no one really wants to hit the brakes.

honestly if you've been watching the voting patterns on fed policy proposals historically speaking, this whole Hassett pivot actually makes empirical evidence suggest we're looking at a fundamental governance shift. let me break this down—the liquidity dynamics fundamentally don't support tightening when political incentives are misaligned with quorum requirements for orthodox monetary policy.
