There have been numerous sharp, even intemperate, attacks on the Fed by politicians, principally by Republican members of Congress and presidential hopefuls. These attacks have been mostly about the FOMC’s policies, particularly its aggressive use of “quantitative easing.” As such, they are an attempt to influence the FOMC, to pressure it not to ease further, especially not to pursue further quantitative easing. These developments raise several questions about the possible impact of politics on monetary policy, both before and after the presidential election. Here we focus on pre-election considerations. In a later commentary, we will discuss the implications of the hostility toward the Fed for the Fed’s independence, including our views on how the conduct of monetary policy might differ under Obama and Romney presidencies.
