Our instrument panel [The Treasury market] has gone dead, in both ways: We don’t believe what they’re saying, and when we push this button it doesn’t do what we think. On top of that we are running out of fuel or Treasury Money because we can’t keep doing these lending programs. Not only do we have to stabilize the plane, we’ve got to land it in a fog and gale-force winds. We’ve got to find an airport, land the plane on a dark runway, then make sure it does not skid off into the ocean”. Powell quote about Economy - Powell downplayed worries about a 1970’s style scenario of runaway price increases - globalisation and technology, said Powell, had weakened businesses’ ability to raise prices and eroded workers’ bargaining powers. “It’s just a different economy”.Powell parting quote - “Even in terrible times, try to take counsel from your hopes as well as your fears,” Powell offered, “We should never sell ourselves short.”
