Economists are the most critical of the Fed's tight policy they've been in 13 years

• Economists are the most critical of the Fed's tight policy they've been in 13 years, an NABE survey shows.
• 21% of economists polled think the Fed's policy is "too restrictive" — up from 14% in March and August last year, and the most since 2011.
• That scrutiny comes as the Fed recently signaled that rate cuts are unlikely in March.

The Fed's tight monetary policy has had its fair share of skeptics. Now, more economists are beginning to wonder if Jerome Powell is on the right track.
