Consumer sentiment has hit an all-time low in America as the promises of Trumpenomics like a flood of tariff wealth, slashed income taxes, and lower prices are washed away by the tides of war, low growth, bad math, and money printing. Politicians want to be good at math when it serves them, and terrible at […]

On Tuesday’s episode of the Peter Schiff Show, Peter contends that the recent market bounce is being driven less by real economic strength and more by Fed signaling that rate cuts are coming. He walks through how central bank rhetoric, rising yields abroad, and domestic affordability pressures paint a picture of an economy strained by […]

In heated debates, economists squabble over whether the public is hoodwinking pollsters or if mysterious forces are at play. Our guest columnist explains how […]
