GOP Senators Defend Federal Reserve's Decision on Interest Rates The Federal Reserve has faced criticism from politicians across the aisle in recent years, but President Trump's attacks on its decision to raise interest rates have been particularly contentious.
Several Republican senators, known for their support of fiscal discipline and small government policies, have publicly defended the Fed's independence.
At first glance, this might seem like a departure from the party's platform. However, these senators are not defending the rate hike policy itself but rather the decision making process.
