With the Trump administration taking a stake in private companies like Intel, many are hailing the “treat the state like a business” approach to governing.

Peter Schiff: Fed Fires up the Money Printers

On Wednesday’s episode of The Peter Schiff Show, Peter walks listeners through the week’s highly anticipated Fed announcement and Jerome Powell’s press conference, arguing the event was more about rhetoric than reality.
