April National Outreach Call with Nathan Tankus
Each month, Real Progressives and Real Progress in Action sponsor a call with a guest speaker who gives a presentation and answers your questions. It’s also an opportunity to learn about our organizations. Anyone and everyone is invited.
Nathan Tankus, Research Director of the Modern Money Network is the special guest for the April 22nd call at 9 pm EDT/6 pm PDT.
During the pandemic, the Federal Reserve has been announcing an alphabet soup of programs and updating them constantly. This can be a maze of confusion, especially since many of us don’t fully understand how the Fed operates normally. But at root, what’s happening is simple – the Fed is creating money in order to lend to businesses and financial institutions and making purchases of debt securities that trade on open markets.
Why is the Fed doing it? What is it meant to accomplish? Why is this not enough to replace the lost incomes suffered as a result of Coronavirus? Nathan will be breaking it all down and answering our questions.
