Taylor on the Fed's Mandate

John wants to end the dual mandate.

Disappointing, in my humble opinion, for reasons I discussed in this Times column. But not to worry: There is no chance it will become law in this congress. The proposal is about politics, not policy.

If the president were serious about tax reform, he would give his full-throated endorsement to the kind of tax reform ideas advanced by the Bowles-Simpson commission that he appointed, as I discussed in this column.
