The Fed, Inflation, and the Truth We’re Not Being Told

from Another Money Show · host J.R. Rotchford & Anthony Carrao

This week on Another Money Show, J.R. and Anthony take a closer look at the economic headlines as we head into the holiday season and question whether they reflect what Americans are really experiencing. They break down the Federal Reserve’s recent moves and explain why, in their view, many of the decisions coming out of Washington simply do not make sense. J.R. and Anthony also discuss the latest inflation data and why it feels disconnected from the real-world cost pressures families continue to face, even as officials suggest inflation is improving. The conversation also touches on concerns within the banking system, ongoing worries about a market bubble, commentary on recent political and global developments, including President Trump’s primetime address and other headlines making waves this week. As always, J.R. and Anthony encourage listeners to stay informed, question the narrative, and make sure their financial plans are built to handle uncertainty. -- Visit: AnotherMoneyShow.com Call Rotchford & Associates: (623) 523-0444 Email the show: [email protected] Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AnotherMoneyShow -- Book a no-cost, no-obligation appointment: Call (623) 523-0444 or visit AnotherMoneyShow.com to schedule in-office or Zoom consultations.

Meet Anthony: In 2018, Anthony Carrao became the 4th generation of the family business after leaving behind a career as an Industrial Engineer.
