Hey folks, this is Abel James and thanks so much for joining us on the show.

Does it feel like a dollar isn't worth a dollar anymore?

At first, inflation feels good for some of us.

Homeowners see their houses rapidly increase in nominal price,

the stock market appears to rise, even used cars and trucks sitting in the driveway

growing older, somehow appear to become more valuable. But when you fill up your cart at the grocery store,

pay for skyrocketing insurance and tax bills, and account for rapid and permanent increases in housing, energy, and all the other costs of living,

you start to feel the sting of runaway inflation.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the Federal Reserve in the past three years.

Groceries are up 20% across the board. Gas is up 45%, energy is up 38%, and credit card

debt is up 45%.

This would all be well and good if our salaries doubled overnight.

Has yours?

The basement of our currency has eroded our standard of living, degraded nutrients in our food supply,

and left us poorer and sicker than any time in recent history.

Theot inflation is a hidden tax lobbied without your consent eroding the spending power of every dollar you've ever earned.

In a debt-based Fiat system, saving is a losing strategy.

Increasingly, we're incentivized to spend immediately, not save.

Corporations are incentivized to borrow, not earn. With cheaper access to massive low interest debt, the ruling class is able to gleefully strip mine

any remaining wealth from the middle and lower classes.

Since 1900, our dollar has lost nearly 99% of its spending power. This is not an accident.

In 1900, a single dollar could buy a pair of patent leather shoes, a woman's house dress, or even be saved with confidence.
