The question: Is the Federal Reserve prone to influence presidential elections by cutting interest rates during presidential campaigns. This question is already debated within the news media.
A presidential election occurs every 4 years by votes in November. To answer the question, actions by the Fed must account for 1 year during campaigns.
As an independent body, does the Fed have a right to change interest rates during campaigns and near to actual votes cast. How great was the requirement to change and why not after elections. Should the Fed place a moratorium to not change rates to maintain independence or is the Fed active to elect favored candidates.
Greenspan was a Republican while Bernanke, Yellen and Powell are Democrats.
To slash interest rates, raises GDP therefore GDP travels higher during campaigns and prior to votes cast. Was correct Economics considered or to influence favored candidates.
