    I had never seen this woman before,...but,...I totally enjoyed listening to her in this interview. She seemed to be very honest,..and straightforward in her analysis.
  • @joannemeeks745
    Missed your videos Consuelo; this was a highly informative interview!
  • @nitinkumar5241
    So glad she called out excessive government spending - spending causes inflation, high debt causes high interest rates, and taxes slow growth. Government spending is very stagflationary.
  • @iwanttohehe
    Another great interview. Thank you again Consuelo.. you always ask the right questions.

    Work from Home is another factor in Commercial RE. Lots of empty buildings.
  • @michaelswami

  • @juannunez7045
    used to watch you on pbs for years thank god I found you consuelo on youtube. I will say you always have the most knowledgeable guest.
  • @davidpatterson4024
    Love the show… so she is saying wages must come down so companies can protect profits…. Last time I checked companies from Campbell soup to Chevron were making record amounts of money….perhaps we can find a better solution!! 😊 I agree with her on the reasons for delay in the downturns.
  • @aaron159r2
    They must have filmed this interview prior to the most recent rounds of bank "not bailouts".
  • @shingnosis
    She knows her stuff, no one knows of course but it's about as sensible a guess as anyone can make. However a recession might not look like we're used to these days with all the extra liquidity and money on the sidelines. There is for instance nothing that says a recession must mean a falling stock market, at least not in absolute terms. The stock market could as an example trade mostly flat from here for a year or two, but I'm sure you all know that.
  • @nrs6956
    Agree with Lazar's observations. But there are many two dragons to slay. Ukraine with seemingly never ending involvement for the US and refinements of Corvid hysteria.
  • @vb4567
    Always like and watch your videos. Question: We all like to think everyone is honest good and true but the government benefits from high inflation by gradually making the accumulated debt worthless. How do we know that Mr Powell (and others in the government) is not carefully threading the needle, vocalizing a 2% goal but strategically allowing a higher rate for the long term future as a planned action?
  • @TBoy1247
    I couldn't pay attention. My mind was always comparing Ms Lazar speech and knowledge to Janet Yellen's.
  • @alexi2460
    NL is full of it, she is like a good old boy yes person . FEDS should have anticipated the bank failure issue since the rush to raise rates turned thing sour for some banks. Obviously Powel cant think ahead of his nose
