Ep. 2177 - TRUMP U-TURN WIN: Tariff War Paused, China Isolated!
I am going to defer to my economists at this point, but I think probably that's a likely outcome.

That's how Zuckerberg describes his new approach. Now, in this world we live in where people criticize and focus on traditional media, and there's plenty of valid criticisms there, it is worth recalling platforms like Facebook and Instagram now reach far more people than newspapers or television news.

Zuckerberg is shifting towards less fact checking on these platforms that already have less fact checking. They have less reliable info than, say, news outlets, which do try to get the facts and evidence first and then only report what they can confirm. It's really quite the opposite online. Zuckerberg's announcement does note this tradeoff. I want you to listen to this.

You'll hear him in his own words. He basically says that there's more, quote, bad stuff that will be posted on Facebook that will be out there for you and your family to see and internalize and get into your brain and all that sort of question of the diet of information you have. There will be more bad stuff, he says.

But that's the cost of erring on the side of not having other posts wrongly taken down. The reality is that this is a trade-off. It means we're going to catch less bad stuff.

First and foremost, stop the overspending. Inflation, high taxes, deficits, high interest rates are all symptoms. The disease is overspending. When governments spend too much money, there's only three ways to get it. One is to raise your taxes. The other is to borrow, which means that they'll tax you more later on. And the third way is to print money.

Printing money seems like a painless way to pay for things, but... It's very simple. If you have 10 apples and $10 in the economy, it's a bucket apple. If you double the number of dollars in the economy to 20, you still only have 10 apples. You're not twice as rich. It's just that each apple costs twice as much.

And that is a tax on the working people because it chews up the purchasing power of your paycheck only to pay for excessive government spending, and it balloons the asset values of the billionaires.

US Senator Visits Abrego Garcia, Florida State University Shooting, Fed Independence
Economists are virtually unanimous on the importance of central bank independence. Just look around the world at places where there isn't independence. The inflation rate is higher. The growth rate is lower. The unemployment and the job market are worse.

I keep that on the shelf in my office right by my desk for two reasons. One, this is not just a game. This is not just the markets. What the central bank does, what the Fed does affects real people. And two, sometimes the Fed has to do the hard job.
