Summary
Noticing the debt trap? In Episode 213, Matt examines the Fed rate increase discussed in this episode, rising borrowing costs, and the squeeze on everyday life. From credit card debt to 50-year mortgages, he asks whether promises of affordability offer relief or keep people paying longer. Matt challenges the “strong economy” narrative and asks who benefits, arguing that political loyalty should never outweigh what people see in their own lives.
