4 Pillars of Debt in Danger of Collapse<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Last month I was in a series of high-level meetings with members of Congress and the Senate in Washington.<\/p>\n

While there\u2019s been major news about the Supreme Court, my discussions were on something that both sides of the aisle are coming to consensus over.<\/p>\n

You see, issues that impact your own bottom line are way more about economics than they are about politics. On Capitol Hill, leaders know that. They also know that voters react to what impacts their money. That\u2019s why, behind the scenes, I\u2019ve been discussing issues focused on protecting the economy.<\/p>\n

Behind closed doors, we\u2019ve been working on how to shield the economy from Too Big to Fail banks and how the U.S. can better fund infrastructure projects. These are initiatives that all politicians should care about.<\/p>\n

Underneath the surface of the economy is a financial system that is heavily influenced by the Federal Reserve. That\u2019s why political figures and the media alike have all tried to understand what direction the system is headed.<\/p>\n

Also last week I joined Fox Business at their headquarters to discuss the economy, the Fed and what they all mean for the markets. On camera, we discussed this week\u2019s Federal Reserve meeting and the likely outcomes.<\/p>\n

Off camera, we jumped into a similar discussion that those in DC have pressed me on. Charles Payne, the Fox host, asked me what I thought of new Fed chairman, Jerome Powell, in general. Payne knew that I view the entire central bank system as a massive artificial bank and market stimulant.<\/p>\n

What I told him is that Powell actually has a good sense of balance in terms of what he does with rates, and the size of the Fed\u2019s book. He understands the repercussion that moving rates too much, too quickly, or selling off the assets, could have on the global economy and the markets.<\/p>\n
