Hassett Urges Fed To Cut Rates Faster
6.0
National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett said Tuesday that the Federal Reserve is not cutting interest rates quickly enough, despite U.S. GDP growing at a 4.3% annual rate in the third quarter. Hassett, a leading contender to replace Fed Chair Jerome Powell in May, credited AI and tariffs for boosting growth and noted the Fed's Dec. 10 quarter-point cut could presage slower future reductions.
