Alternative to the Fed? Tariffs, jobs, and a Supreme Court showdown

Hilary Golston spoke with Dr. Michael Greiner, an economy expert and attorney from Oakland University, about the mounting pressures on the U.S. economy. With August jobs data showing just 22,000 new positions and unemployment climbing to 4.3 percent, Golston pressed Greiner on what the slowdown means for workers and markets. The two also examined the high-stakes tariff fight now heading to the Supreme Court, where billions in potential refunds hang in the balance. Finally, they explored the Federal Reserve’s role in shaping America’s fiscal landscape and whether alternatives to the Fed could ever truly emerge.
