The president of the United States stood at a rally and told Americans that skyrocketing oil prices are a win. Meanwhile, people on Long Island are scrambling to heat their homes this winter. Let me explain the economic shell game being run on you.
A shiny new Audi plant in Georgia, a room full of influencers, and politicians lining up to take credit for something that was going to happen anyway. I am going to break down exactly why this story is being sold to you and what is actually driving foreign automakers to build in America.
The FBI just raided dozens of New York adult daycare centers billing Medicaid for dead patients and empty rooms. I called this years ago when everyone said Minnesota was an isolated incident. It was never isolated.
A Republican Senate candidate wants to eliminate the Social Security payroll tax cap, which would trigger the largest peacetime tax increase in decades, and the MAGA crowd is clapping. I am not making this up.
American Express and Bank of America just got caught up in money laundering scandals involving drug cartels, and the financial media is barely whispering about it. Surprise, surprise when the same banks are buying ad time on those networks.
The CEO of United Airlines is out here demanding a national wealth tax and 100% inheritance levies. Before you cheer, ask yourself who writes the loopholes and who actually ends up paying.
Homebuilder confidence just hit a 14-year low and the business networks are all over it. The problem is they are getting the story wrong, and that matters if you are thinking about buying, building, or investing in housing.
French bond yields at a 24-year high. European banks choking on government debt. Global capital sprinting toward the United States. The story Wall Street is not telling you could be the most important economic trend of this decade.
Over 50% of Trump Ballroom donors ended up with government contracts, a Turkish billionaire is wiring millions through the Congo to buy White House access, and a Venezuelan facing felony bribery charges just walked away with a misdemeanor. Nothing to see here, folks. Keep moving.
Another election season, another multi-billion dollar farm bailout. I have been watching this game get played for 15 years and the script never changes. Washington hands out your money, politicians take the credit, and nobody asks the obvious question.
