Episode notes
QE Restart Is Hidden Inflation
- The Fed has quietly resumed QE by buying Treasury bills, which is equivalent to printing money to monetize debt.
- This restart will fuel inflation and weaken real bond returns according to Peter Schiff.
Rate Cuts Won't Fix Mortgages
- Cutting short-term rates while buying T-bills won't lower long-term yields or mortgage rates.
- Schiff argues this policy pressures bonds and fails to solve housing affordability.
Prioritizing Markets Over Price Stability
- Choosing employment over inflation risks higher future inflation and eventual worse unemployment.
- Schiff says the Fed prioritized avoiding financial market collapses over price stability.
