Home prices are crazy high right now, and the drama between Donald Trump and Jerome Powell over interest rates is heating up. Trump wants lower rates, but does the Fed really have the power to make that happen? We're diving into how the bond market, inflation, and the Fed’s decisions are impacting mortgage rates, and why a quick fix could make things worse. Let's break it all down in this episode so you’re not left wondering what’s really going on.

We break down housing, growing wealth gaps, and the economy in a simple, meaningful way.

Clear, honest, and structured for real people.
