Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Friday called for a review of the Federal Reserve, arguing that it has strayed from its original core missions by taking on banking regulation.

The Federal Reserve has turned housing into its private playground, holding trillions in mortgage-backed securities with no legal authority to do so. Every dollar it pumps into the market inflates prices, erodes real ownership, and turns homes into instruments of policy rather than shelter. If this escalates into a “housing emergency,” the next step could …

IMF financial …

U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs have rocked financial markets and triggered a violent selloff last …
by Michael For many years, pundits have been warning us that the U.S. dollar would collapse. In 2025, it is actually starting to happen. The U.S. dollar hit a three year low against other global currencies last week, and on Wednesday the crash of the dollar resumed. Overall, the U.S. dollar is now down about 9 …
Powell’s Fed hiked too soon, eased too late, and trapped America in high-rate limbo.
by Mike Maharrey The Federal Reserve just got the green light to crank up the inflation machine. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) moderated in February and turned downright cool in March. Prices fell month-on-month, driven by much lower energy costs. That cracks the door for the Fed to plausibly cut interest rates again sooner rather …
