Moore didn't decide that. He was booted. No doubt for disagreeing publicly with His Lardship this morning.
And then His Lardship found out what Moore told Bloomberg.Potential Federal Reserve nominee Stephen Moore disagrees with President Donald Trump’s call for the central bank to sharply cut rates.
“I’m not so sure I agree with the White House that we should cut rates by an entire percentage point,” Moore told Bloomberg News on Thursday. “I just don’t see the case for that right now.”
Moore made his comments two days after Trump called for a 1% cuts to the Fed’s overnight rate and urged for more quantitative easing, which are the measures used by the central bank to stimulate the economy after the financial crisis.
In a series of tweets, Trump said the U.S. economy would go up “like a rocket” if the Fed loosened monetary policy.

Trump has not yet submitted Moore’s name as a Fed governor. The potential nomination has run into trouble due to controversial statements unearthed from Moore’s past.
Despite growing opposition from both parties, Moore said he will not withdraw his name from consideration, as Hermain Cain was forced to do recently following controversy and indications that he did not have sufficient Republican support to make it through a confirmation hearing.
”“I’m not pulling out,” Moore told The Wall Street Journal in a report published Thursday morning. Moore said he had spoken with a White House official who encouraged him to continue with the process.
