It's quite informative how quickly and fully Warsh seems to have been absorbed into the Fed Borg.
Even though today's news was a hike, I think that overall this makes a US debt crisis much less likely. The Fed going nuts (or getting doged) is the only remotely plausible scenario for that, imo.

Remember, he's Silent Kevin because he wants markets to focus on the economy rather than the Fed.
Let's check in on how that's working.

Fed decided to raise rates by a quarter of a percentage point, and -- more importantly -- the decision was unanimous. Markets will be happy that the chair has decided to signal he's more of a Serious Kevin than a Sockpuppet Kevin (which was their main concern).

Interest rates just went up because of Donald Trump & JD Vance’s mismanagement of our economy. Darline Graham Nordone supports their economic mismanagement 100%. @drannieandrews.com opposes their mismanagement and will help you buy what you need in your life.

We quite literally cannot afford 2 more years of this administration
CBO analysis: The Iran war has cost the U.S. $38 billion as of August 1.
That’s >$246 million per day, on average.
CBO says the war has raised inflation and global energy prices, citing reduced traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, and says it’ll raise interest rates on treasuries.
