Vance Calls It 'Proper And Responsible' For The Fed To Cut Rates
He delivered the line from the White House briefing room on September 3, one more executive voice pressing a legally independent Fed.
- Vance called a rate cut "proper and responsible" for the central bank right now.
- He spoke at a White House press briefing held September 3, 2026.
- By law, the Federal Reserve sets interest rates independent of the White House.
Why it matters: An institution's independence is proven by what it does under pressure, never by the statute that created it.
