Standing outside the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) building in Washington, D.C. (600 Pennsylvania Avenue, North West) Money Metals’ Mike Maharrey breaks down why so much of what happens inside that agency has no basis in the original Constitution.
In this short on-the-ground video, Mike explains how the word “trade” meant something very different in the Founding era than it does today. When the Constitution granted Congress the power to “regulate commerce,” it referred narrowly to the movement of goods from place to place — not every form of economic life, and certainly not a blank check for federal bureaucrats.
Over time, politicians, judges, and agencies have twisted that limited power into a justification

Inflation Is the Plan!
2025-11-05
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.
