If you think the president isn't heavily leaning on the fed and having a strong say in how interest rates go I've got a bridge to sell you.

Early in trump presidency when they should of been drastically cranking up interest rates. They stayed pretty fucking stable because the big orange turd threw a fit about them being raised. Biden could easily exert influence. The fed is way less indepent than it should be.
