That is a worrying outcome, because senior Fed officials seem to have slipped back into their pre-2008 ways, ignoring concerns about dangerous financial-sector behavior – even when those concerns are expressed by members of the US Senate Banking Committee. This is not only unfortunate; it is also dangerous, because the Fed’s political position is much more precarious than its leadership seems to realize.
这一结果令人担忧，因为美联储高级官员似乎正在回归2008年前的老路，忽视对危险的金融业行为的担忧——甚至在这些担忧来自美国参议院银行委员会成员时也是如此。这不光不是一件幸事，而是十分危险，因为美联储的政治处境要比其领导层所认识到的危险得多。
