Ep. 121: Trump's Moves to Lower Credit Card & Mortgage Rates Will Have Different Impacts
About this episode
Recently President Trump called for a 10% cap on credit card interest rates, and $200 billion of purchases of mortgage-backed securities. Both moves were intended to help the average American. They each have unintended economic consequences, but the policies are structured differently and require different tools of analysis.
