Ultimately the market will set rates but the Fed is still important. They're far from perfect BUT they need to be the separation between good economic policy and policy set by politicians that can be used for political gain.

Truth be told - the Fed lacks the kind of autonomy its had in the past. Volcker was BRUTAL with rates but he did a good job of quickly putting out the flames of the late 70's and early 80's. He flipped both sides of the aisle off and raised rates to what he thought would extinguish inflation.

As draconian as rates were - he did the job. Those were some rough economic days but a little pain (IMO) paved the way for a 20 year run
