About this episode
The Fed is on the hook for an estimated one-and-a-half trillion dollars. Despite the recent headlines, that's not because of building renovations. It's a much larger cost blowout caused by big actions taken during the pandemic to help the economy: quantitative easing.
Today on the show, we talk to both a critic of these actions and someone who helped put those those actions in play.
