Casey: Fed's Task Forces are 'Political Cover' for Inevitable Actions

Chris Casey views the six task forces established by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh as primarily 'political cover' rather than drivers of significant reform. He believes these initiatives, such as examining data collection and measurement methods, are a way to gain buy-in for actions that will be taken regardless, likening it to a tactic used in large companies or government agencies.
