Trump Just Triggered The Second Biggest Stimulus In US History (And You're Paying For It)

"Either you can fight a slowing economy or you can fight inflation. You can't do both at the same time."   On May 15th, Kevin Warsh replaces Jerome Powell as chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank and President Trump has made clear he would only appoint someone willing to cut interest rates. The immediate story is mortgage rates and housing affordability. The deeper story is a $39 trillion national debt crisis, a government spending $2 trillion more than it collects every year, and a playbook last used after World War II to inflate away the debt without paying it back.   Jaspreet Singh breaks down how financial repression worked between 1946 and 1974. Cutting rates below inflation to let the government borrow for free, growing the economy faster than the debt, and making savers poorer in the process, and why the conditions today look strikingly similar.   In this episode, you'll learn: How a drop in mortgage rates from 7% to 4.5% saves a homeowner over $600 a month and why Trump is already moving without the Fed, demanding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buy $200 billion in mortgage-backed securities to push rates lower now How the 1946–1974 financial repression worked: the government kept interest rates artificially below inflation, pressured institutions to lend to the government at a loss, and grew the debt-to-GDP ratio from 121% down to 25%  Why today's situation is worse than post-WWII: the current debt-to-GDP ratio sits around 130%, interest payments already consume 20 cents of every tax dollar collected, and cutting rates would save the government hundreds of billions annually in interest Five investment categories to watch if this plays out: real estate ETFs (VNQ, XHB, ITB), gold as an inflation hedge (GLD), inflation-protected treasuries (SCHP), broad U.S. market exposure (SPY), and international diversification through developed (VEA) or emerging markets (VWO)   Keywords: Federal Reserve, Kevin Warsh, mortgage rates, financial repression, national debt, inflation hedge, interest rates, housing market, S&P 500, gold investing     Want more financial news?
