Our earlier article on the Senate Banking Committee hearing with Fed Chair Kevin Warsh explained how lawmakers framed affordability as the key test of monetary policy, given its direct impact on borrowing costs for households and small businesses. We also noted the emphasis on keeping the Federal Reserve focused on its core mandate and approaching reforms like balance sheet reduction and bank capital rules in a way that preserves stability and credit access.
