“It may seem strange, but Congress has never developed a set of goals for guiding Federal Reserve policy. In founding the System, Congress spoke about the country's need for "an elastic currency." Since then, Congress has passed the Full Employment Act, declaring its general intention to promote "maximum employment, production, and purchasing power." But it has never directly counseled the Federal Reserve.” NeedsMayCountryWisdomSeemsPoliticsGoalEconomyPolicyStrangeIntentionCongressProductionsEmploymentLiberalismSpokesCurrencyReservesFoundingMaximumFederal ReserveDeclaringPurchasingPurchasing Power Author:Wright Patman
“Every politician just has to remember how he got his position in the first place. A young candidate running for Congress or any outsider interested in public office could only achieve his goals by relying on soft power. They could not force anyone to vote for them. They needed to convince their potential voters, they needed to do fundraising, they needed to be attractive candidates.” FirstsRunningRememberYoungForceGoalAchievePositionNeededPoliticianOfficeVoteCongressAttractiveCandidatesConvinceVotersOutsidersFundraisingPublic Office Author:Joseph Nye
