Fed Chair Nominee Kevin Warsh: I’m Deeply Grateful to Trump for Asking Me to Take on This Public Trust

EXCERPT:

WARSH: “I'm deeply grateful to President Trump for asking me to take on this public trust, because that's what it is, a public trust. The president believes that real economic growth in the U.S. and real take-home pay will accelerate. I share the president's confidence in our country and its people. America's economic growth potential is rising as we sit here today. I'm also especially happy that my wife Jane is here. She's been with me for many of the most important moments in my life. I'm grateful for her love and her personal accomplishments. I reciprocate that with somewhat of my own love, though I'm a little more stoic than she. And about every 20 years, I reintroduce her to this committee. She sat behind me 20 years ago, and it was almost 20 years ago to the day, and so let me offer today what I said then, Jane, happy anniversary. I'm also thinking of my late mom and dad. They were paying great attention to this hearing 20 years ago, they're no longer with us, but I was always proud of them and the values they taught me, and I hope they'd be proud of me today.”
