About the Episode
The Federal Reserve cut its prime lending rate again, this time by a quarter point. The economy, higher costs of living and high housing prices directly affected by these rates are a big reason Donald Trump won the election. The president-elect has often been critical of Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Jeanna Smialek of The New York Times.
