Description

While the stock market soars, Americans struggle to afford housing, groceries, and a McDonald’s Happy Meal.


The Spectacle Podcast hosts Melissa Mackenzie and Scott McKay explain this phenomenon and discuss what’s really behind the disparity in the economy. They navigate through the different challenges Americans face in the housing market, criticizing  President Trump’s 50-year mortgage plan proposal. They also explain the consequences of corporatism and crony capitalism, many of which were brought about by the 2008 financial collapse and policies by former president Barack Obama. Tune in to hear their discussion!
