The Federal Reserve cut interest rates and ended balance sheet reduction at its last meeting despite acknowledging persistent inflation. This doesn't make sense in a sane world. But we don't live in a sane world. In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, Mike Maharrey tries to make sense of the insanity. He says that the key to understanding the Fed's moves is recognizing that inflation is the plan. The central bank doesn't want to tackle inflation. It just wants to keep it at a level that doesn't make you too angry. In fact, the government needs inflation to support its borrowing and spending problem. Mike argues that this isn't a policy you can vote away. You can only take steps to minimize its impact on your life.Click the icon below to listen.

Gold and silver are in the midst of a significant price correction, and with all of the volatility in the markets, it's important to keep your eye on the ball.

It could signal significant strain in the financial system.
