Peter Schiff – X, Released on 4/21/26 At least Warsh conceded that inflation is not caused by economic growth, but by the government spending too much and the Fed printing too much. But under Trump 45 and 47, government spending grew, along with the money supply and the Fed's balance sheet. So why is Trump […]
Peter Schiff – X, Released on 3/22/26 Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that it’s ridiculous to ask whether Trump would consider raising taxes to pay for the war.
