Gwen Moore actually said...

"I actually think that it may be helpful to have had this hearing to discuss the Federal Reserve and the Federal Reserve System."

"I think that we ought to and should explore smart reforms that balance maintaining the Fed's independence but that also bolsters public confidence and faith in the Fed."

"The Fed was created and established to be independent, and I think that independence has fueled a lot of these misconceptions and misgivings about the Fed."

"I was initially extremely suspicious of this hearing, due to some proposals that I think would disastrously inject partisan politics into monetary policy."
