Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh is rethinking policy with $6.7 trillion balance sheet, aiming for a comprehensive examination, with 5 task forces, to create a clear-eyed Fed. 25% of the Fed's current holdings are in mortgage-backed securities. Warsh's approach could lead to a 10% reduction in the balance sheet over the next year.

What specific changes do you think the Fed should prioritize in its overhaul, with a potential 15% impact on interest rates?
