Former VP Pence talks Fed Chair Powell, UAW strikes, border wall in exclusive YF Live interviewFormer Vice President Mike Pence wants to return to the White House, this time, as President. In an interview with Yahoo Finance Live's Seana Smith, Brad Smith, and Rick Newman, Pence weighs in on everything from the Federal Reserve to war in Ukraine. Pence makes it clear he is not a fan of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, saying he would 'absolutely go in a different direction with the chairman of the Federal Reserve.' Pence argues that Powell has been playing 'catch-up,' adding that he would also get rid of the Fed's dual mandate. Like many Republicans, Pence wants to see the Trump tax cuts made permanent. Pence though, wants to take it a step further. The Trump tax cuts cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. Pence wants to take that down to 15%, saying it will give American businesses more of an advantage. Pence also takes a swipe at his former boss, saying former President Donald Trump's talk of imposing a 10% tariff on all imports could be 'one of the largest tax increases in history.' Both President Biden and former President Trump plan on visiting striking UAW workers. Pence argues that 'Bidenomics' is 'driving' the strike, saying that under Biden's policies, wages are not keeping up with inflation and that the 'Green New Deal buried in that so-called Inflation Reduction Act is waging war on people that manufacture combustion engine automobiles.'
