Money supply growing at 6.8% annually while the real economy only grows at 2.3%. Compound that over 10-15 years and you've got way more money chasing far less stuff. You can’t run a country where money supply grows 3x faster than real economic output and not expec… Read more >>

America's debt-to-GDP ratio is now 125%—higher than during WWII. Politicians have every incentive to keep spending because it gets them re-elected. They're rewarded for wasting money and almost never punished. The system is broken. #PlanB #FinancialFreedom… Read more >>

In 1828, Davy Crockett proposed Congressmen donate their own salaries to help a naval widow. Not one contributed. Apparently charity is only virtuous when it's other people's money. Same story today, except now we're $38 trillion in debt. #FiscalResponsibility #De… Read more >>

Two-thirds of America's $1.8 trillion deficit went to pay interest on money already borrowed. We're adding $100 billion per week to the debt. The math isn't complicated—this ends badly unless something changes. #NationalDebt #EconomicReality… Read more >>

Foreign governments are quietly dumping US Treasury bonds and buying gold instead. It's not because they're 'gold bugs' - it's because they see the writing on the wall. When your biggest creditors start diversifying away from your debt, that's a red flag. … Read more >>

Interest payments on the national debt now exceed $1 trillion annually - more than Medicare, Medicaid, AND Defense spending. When servicing debt costs more than defending the country, you know the system is broken. … Read more >>

The math is staggering: Treasury estimated $547B in borrowing for Q3, then revised to $1.007T, but actually borrowed $1.4T. That's nearly THREE TIMES their April estimate. America's debt is growing so fast we can't even keep up with the projections. … Read more >>

Foreign creditors own $10+ trillion in US bonds - the foundation of our economic power. When Congress can't even keep the government open for business, why would anyone trust American debt? Gold hitting $4,100 isn't speculation; it's a vote of no confidence. #USDo… Read more >>

The largest gold ETF recently saw $2 billion in inflows in a single day. Is that a top signal? Possibly. Just remember that gold peaked briefly in 1974, fell 40%, then went up 8x from there. Maybe there will be a correction now. But the long-term trend is higher. … Read more >>
