The Federal Reserve cut interest rates again.
They say it is about jobs. They say inflation is under control. They say trust the data.

But inflation is still high, hiring is slowing, and the Fed cannot even agree with itself.

In this episode of Are You Smarter Than A Libertarian, we break down the Fed’s latest rate cut, the so-called dot plot, internal dissent at the central bank, and why Wall Street cheers while Main Street keeps paying more. We also dive into what this shift means for markets, Bitcoin, bonds, and the growing political pressure on the Fed as the next chair selection looms.

This is not a partisan rant. It is a clear-eyed look at how centralized control of money distorts incentives, misprices risk, and quietly drains your purchasing power.

If the Fed keeps getting it wrong, the real question is why they still control the most important price in the economy.
