Episode notes
Using Headlines To Expose Fraud
- Trump uses headline issues to expose systemic fraud and shift public attention toward targeted reforms.
- The SNAP fraud push exemplifies using public outrage to justify deeper audits and policy change.
Prefer Gradual Policy Shifts Over Immediate Cuts
- Watch for policy moves that reallocate spending rather than immediately slash budgets to avoid economic shock.
- Expect gradual implementation and measure wins like recovered fraud dollars or tariff revenue before demanding deeper cuts.
Tariffs vs. Monetary Inflation
- Tariffs create one-time price effects but do not expand the money supply and thus aren't true inflation drivers.
- Inflation remains fundamentally a monetary phenomenon tied to money supply expansion by the Fed.
