美联储理事提名人凯文·沃什在参议院听证会上巧妙回避了佐治亚州民主党参议员拉斐尔·沃诺克关于"给美国经济评分"的提问，转而将矛头指向高等教育机构普遍存在的评分通胀现象。
沃什向参议院银行委员会举例称，若他给学生打出"A"以外的成绩，院长便会召其至办公室问责，认为这会损害学生自尊。这位曾担任美联储理事后转投斯坦福大学胡佛研究所的学者，以学术界的评分体系作类比，婉拒了对经济表现进行量化评估。
在回应质询时，沃什暗示若美联储能推行政策改革，经济或将呈现更强劲态势：通胀水平有望进一步下降，而实际工资收入可能提升。他还对自其离任后美联储资产负债表规模持续扩张的现象提出批评，强调当前资产购买政策存在调整空间。
