  • Inflation Is Stuck at 3.4% — Will the Fed Hike This Week?

    Inflation Is Stuck at 3.4% — Will the Fed Hike This Week?
    2026/09/15
    Two government reports came out last week — the PPI on Thursday and the CPI on Friday — and by Friday afternoon Wall Street had gone from "maybe" to "almost certainly" on the Federal Reserve raising interest rates this Wednesday. If you've ever heard "CPI" or "the Fed" on the news and nodded along without really knowing what it meant, this episode is your decoder ring. Linda breaks down what these two inflation thermometers actually measure (one is the menu price, the other is what the restaurant paid for ingredients), why gas prices are doing all the damage while rent is quietly cooling, and why the Fed's 2% target isn't zero. She goes line by line through what's actually up — fuel oil +52%, airline fares +23%, gas +27% — and what's quietly down (eggs –23%), and why a 3.4% "average" can feel like 15% if your life runs on gas, coffee, and flights. Then she goes back to the two times America has been here before — the oil-shock inflation of the 1970s that peaked at 14.8% and cost Paul Volcker a 20% interest rate to kill, and the 9.1% spike of 2022 that the Fed beat without a crash. Most importantly: what a quarter-point rate hike actually does to your savings account, your credit card, your mortgage, and your stocks — and why the market may barely blink at a decision everyone already expects.

    Q3: From the archive: Capital gains, taxes & how they factor into the upcoming election
    2026/08/25
    Linda Garcia, Texas House Representative, author of Wealth Warrior: 8 Steps for Communities of Color to Conquer the Stock Market, and founder of In Luz We Trust, is dedicated to empowering BIPOC and Latinx communities through financial literacy. Her podcast, Investies, tackles real-money topics, demystifies investing, and explores crucial areas like the stock market, money management, and the impact of interest rates on personal finances. Linda’s work advocates for financial independence, championing equity and representation for all, especially immigrants and marginalized communities. As a financial feminist, she encourages listeners—regardless of political affiliation, be it Republican or Democrat—to take control of their financial futures. Through her podcast and advocacy, Linda tackles the intersection of financial education, the economy, and geopolitics, helping diverse communities build wealth and secure their place in today’s financial landscape. Linda unpacks capital gains–what they are, and how investors can use them to their advantage. She also discusses how investors use taxes on capital gains to their advantage. As you probably know already, folks who are farther along their financial journeys and have been investing for years are well aware of how to make capital gains work for them come tax season. That said–many of the wealthiest investors use capital gains as something akin to a tax loophole. As a part of her presidential campaign, Vice President Harris is proposing a tax policy aimed at the ultra wealthy, who have been exploiting capital gains for some time. This would also relieve the tax burden of the rest of us somewhat. There are so many ways to make the stock market work for you as you gain more experience as an investor.
