Goldman Sachs has coined a new buzzword — the “optimism gap” — to describe Americans who think they’re on track for retirement even as most admit they’ll outlive their savings. But as Chris Markowski explains, the problem isn’t optimism — it’s delusion sold by Wall Street and fueled by unrealistic expectations. In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, he breaks down why retirement as we know it is a modern invention, why the math behind pensions and Social Security no longer works, and how facing financial reality — not chasing buzzwords — is the key to real freedom and longevity.

When government stops fueling the college loan machine, prices fall — fast. Santa Clara Law just “slashed” tuition from $63,000 to $50,000 after new federal caps limited grad school borrowing. But instead of calling it a price cut, they’re spinning it as a “pledge scholarship.” In this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street, Chris Markowski exposes how decades of unlimited student loans inflated higher education costs — and how a simple change in policy proves the market still works when subsidies disappear.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says tariffs aren’t a tax — but try telling that to small business owners crushed under $1.2 trillion in new costs. From shoe importers taking out high-interest loans just to stay afloat to everyday Americans paying more for worse products, this episode of Watchdog on Wall Street exposes how protectionism punishes consumers, stifles innovation, and erodes quality. Chris Markowski breaks down why free trade, not tariffs, fuels excellence — and why letting politicians, not markets, decide what we buy always ends in mediocrity.

The Big Apple’s losing its bite. In this fiery WDOWS episode, the New York City mayoral debate turns into a circus — with Curtis Sliwa, Andrew Cuomo, and the self-proclaimed Marxist candidate promising free buses, free groceries, and no prosecution for misdemeanors. Meanwhile, crime runs wild, businesses flee, and taxpayers get squeezed dry. Chris breaks down why NYC’s decline isn’t just political—it’s a warning for every major city chasing “free stuff” at the cost of common sense.
