The mainstream financial media buried the lede in its reporting on last week's Fed meeting.
They reported on the rate cut. They sliced and diced the dot plots. They analyzed every syllable coming out of Jerome Powell's mouth. But they barely mentioned the biggest story - the Fed just restarted quantitative easing (QE).
In this week's Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey covers the stuff the mainstream reporters left out. He explains what the Fed plans to do, why it is QE no matter what they call it, and how it will impact normal people.
Hint: it means more inflation.
