Finally an economist talks about some new, positive stuff! Jason welcomes guest expert, Frances Donald the Senior Economist at Manulife Asset Management and Chief Economist at John Hancock Financial Services. Frances is a wealth of information as she shares CEO, consumer and investor sentiment numbers with regards to the housing market and the job market. Jason can't seem to pin Frances down on whether or not Trump, our first real estate president, is responsible for the growing economy but she does acknowledge the stock market is rallying based on the promised policy changes.
Frances says despite student loan debt and banks being reluctant to give mortgage loans to younger people the pent up demand leaves room to run in the real estate market.
Key Takeaways:[4:42] Frances has a positive outlook for the U.S. economy based on the investor sentiment survey.
[7:24] Does Trump deserve credit for the good economic forecast?
[8:41] The challenge for the housing market moving forward is that interest rates are moving up.
[11:42] Companies large and small are feeling more optimistic with Trump as president.
[13:23] Residential investment or housing is a small percent of the total economy.
[18:00] Frances Donald shares the two drivers of rental housing.
[20:32] The natural relationship between housing and rentals is currently broken.
[24:11] Wage growth and how it relates to demographics.

Join Jason Hartman and returning guest, Ellen Brown, author of Web of Debt, for a discussion of the United States’ debt ceiling, QE2, inflation, as well as a brief explanation of how money came to equal debt. Ellen explains why the debt ceiling is unconstitutional, how the government is legally committed to paying its debts. She points out the contradiction that has been for more than 100 years, since WWI. The easing put into place at that time was only to be a temporary measure.
Ellen also talks about shadow banking causing the crisis by money being lent into existence, slight of hand. The only real money are coins, which are one-tenth of the total money in circulation. Ellen also discusses QE2 , where the government agreed to pay the interest on borrowed money in order to maintain control of the Federal Funds rate. She said there are a lot of reserve funds on the books in certain foreign banks, including bond dealers, that is just being held. Ellen also touches on the national debt, Glass-Steagall, and proposes state-owned banks as part of the solution, with the basic idea that we take care of our own, much the same way that Japan is reliant on their own Central Bank.
Ellen Brown developed her research skills as an attorney practicing civil litigation in Los Angeles. In Web of Debt, her latest book, she turns those skills to an analysis of the Federal Reserve and "the money trust." She shows how this private cartel has usurped the power to create money from the people themselves, and how we the people can get it back. Brown developed an interest in the developing world and its problems while living abroad for eleven years in Kenya, Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua. She returned to practicing law when she was asked to join the legal team of a popular Tijuana healer with an innovative cancer therapy, who was targeted by the chemotherapy industry in the 1990s.
That experience produced her book Forbidden Medicine, which traces the suppression of natural health treatments to the same corrupting influences that have captured the money system. Brown's eleven books include the bestselling Nature's Pharmacy, co-authored with Dr. Lynne Walker, which has sold 285,000 copies.
