Bad news is good news on Wall Street—but not for the rest of us. Jobless claims are climbing, inflation is still squeezing families, and the government’s interest bill alone now tops $1.2 trillion a year. In this episode:
Why the Fed’s “dual mandate” creates perverse incentives in the markets
The real numbers behind gas, food, housing, and wages over the last five years
How endless government spending and tariffs keep making life more expensive
Why only 1 in 4 Americans now believe they can improve their standard of living
The markets may cheer, but Main Street is buckling. At some point, the truth has to break through the spin.
