OIRA: The tiny office that's about to remake the federal government

I don't know, based on any kind of inside or external information, whether they want to go after the Federal Reserve and challenge the independence of the Federal Reserve. That would be the five alarm fire that everyone who is interested in a stable global economy would rally against.

OIRA: The tiny office that's about to remake the federal government

I think the number one on the list of things that keep me up at night about what this administration is doing is the creation of Doge and the so-called Department of Government Efficiency and the efforts to fire tens of thousands of civil servants. That is enormously concerning. I think the firing of independent officials might be number two.

OIRA: The tiny office that's about to remake the federal government

OIRA: The tiny office that's about to remake the federal government

I tend not to use the word constitutional crisis because I don't think it's sufficiently descriptive. I do think that we are approaching autocracy today. We are approaching a world in which the government, especially the executive branch and the president, are unaccountable, either to the people or to the law.
