Debt, Federal Budget, Federal Reserve, Government Debt, National Debt, Retirement

Recently both houses of Congress introduced worthless resolutions regarding debt and spending. The Senate unanimously approved a resolution calling the debt ‘a threat to the national security of the United States’ and calling expected future budget deficits ‘unsustainable, irresponsible, and dangerous.’ In January, the House of Representatives introduced House Resolution 981, suggesting the “United States should reduce and maintain the […]

Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder

Debt, Federal Budget, Federal Reserve, Government Debt, National Debt, Retirement

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” – what one person finds beautiful, another person may not. Beauty is an opinion; we all have one! There’s no universal standard. When it comes to politics, what some deem beautiful is downright ugly in the eyes of others. President Trump proclaimed he wanted “One Big Beautiful Bill” passed by July 4th. Congress […]

Is A Showdown Looming?

Federal Budget, Retirement

President Trump’s agenda calls for one big, beautiful budget bill. Congress deliberately uses shenanigans like ten-year projections to confuse the public. Despite the political BS, in the end the government spends trillions, further increasing the deficit. For the last half-century our debt, as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product, has grown 400%. If things continue, we will soon be bankrupt. […]

What Happens When The Music Stops?

Debt, Federal Budget, Federal Reserve, Government Debt, National Debt, Retirement

We recently discussed the unsustainable debt our nation faces. Government debt has nearly doubled since 2018, topping $36 trillion. Old guard politicos spent trillions, leaving future generations to foot the bill. For decades, irresponsible politicians borrowed and spent, kicking the can down the road. Soon interest expense will eat up the entire federal budget. Like it or not, a major […]

Don’t Get Fooled By Election Year Propaganda!

Federal Budget, Federal Reserve, Government Debt, Janet Yellen, Retirement

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is spouting off again, with more political baloney! Martin Armstrong highlights her recent remarks about IRS funding: “…. The proposal will redirect $14.3 billion in funds to Israel instead of doubling the IRS, angering Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, who insists America has money for two wars and a standing IRS army. …. ‘We cannot let our […]

I Can Feel It in My Bones…

Federal Budget, Federal Reserve, Gold, Government Debt, Inflation, National Debt, Retirement

This is one of the most difficult articles I’ve ever written. It’s from the heart, and I’m worried. Premonition is defined as, A strong feeling that something (generally unpleasant) is about to happen, “He had a premonition of imminent disaster.” If an intuitive, imminent, gut-wrenching premonition (fear) grips your mind and body comes true, you will never forget it. I […]

Fiat Currency Should NOT Be Blind Belief – Part 2

Debt, Federal Budget, Foreign Currencies, Inflation, National Debt, Retirement

Congress just keeps spending money we don’t have. It took just five weeks to add $1 trillion to the national debt after Congress authorized yet another increase in the debt ceiling. The US debt clock projects our borrowing out to 2027 – it is scary: It now takes over $1 trillion in taxes just to pay the interest, which has […]

Inflate Or Die!

Federal Budget, Federal Reserve, Inflation, Retirement

Pundit Bill Bonner’s article, “Money-Printing Means Inflation for the U.S. Economy”, concludes: “It’s inflate or die. And if anyone gets in the way of inflation… the ‘active shooters’ – in both the private sector and the public sector – start gunning for them. Last week, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen came under fire for saying she might have to raise interest […]

“We The People” Are Getting Screwed!

Federal Budget, Retirement, Stock Buy Backs

Enough is enough! It makes no difference what political party is at the helm, our government is foolishly wasting money and putting OUR country at risk. While the preamble to our Constitution begins with, “We The People”, somehow the concept of elected representatives looking after OUR best interest got lost along the way. Pundit Bill Bonner defines government in simple […]

If Not Now – WHEN??

Federal Budget, National Debt, Retirement, Warren Buffet

My grandfather was a WWII Army Sargent, an uneducated farmer with a Ph.D. in common sense. One of the lessons he preached; the longer you ignore a problem, the more it will grow. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell never met my grandfather. This Schiff Gold article confirms my grandfather’s thinking: (Emphasis mine) “During a webinar sponsored by the Economic Club of […]
