About this episode
Americans went on a spending spree to start 2023, as retail sales jumped 3% in January – well above expectations. Is that good news for those fearing a recession, but bad news for those hoping for an end to Fed rate hikes? We’ll debate. Plus, an FTC commissioner just resigned, and blasted the Chair on the way out. We’ll talk to a former FTC Commissioner about the drama.
