Former Fed Chair Ben Bernanke reportedly refused to hire anyone who did not have a Ph.D. in economics, which partly explains why the Fed gets so much wrong. These people are experts in the theory they were taught in graduate school (e.g., Keynesian, Chicago, Austrian, Marxist), but none of these conflicting economic theories explains how economies actually work in the real world.

Watch out regarding mid-west farmland. It's valuable so long as it can grow crops. Growing crops requires water and the Ogallala aquifer is that source. It's the accumulation from the last two glacial periods. It was first tapped about 120 years ago.

As a case study, it has been interesting for us being recent residents of Colombia since 2018. When we first arrived 1st. mortgage rates were at a minimum of 10% p.a. Now they're a tad higher, but the point is that there has been no extreme fluctuation in property values as a result. Unlike economies like the US or New Zealand where we originally come from, where booms and busts in real estate are common - with largely destructive results. Here property values are simply affected by supply and demand, such as demand from economic refugees immigrating from the US and Canada at present. Artificial manipulation of interest rates and in particular, the money supply through counterfeit printing, have caused so much economic destruction. Even NZ hasn't been immune. The sooner economies take a leaf out of the BRICS countries' progress, and revert back to a Gold Standard, the better - otherwise the acceleration of the decline of the USD as the World Reserve Currency will continue apace - and deservedly so. The end result of these lunatic monetary policies will inevitably lead to financial catastrophe.

I was always curious about this: Discontinuance of M3 On March 23, 2006, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System will cease publication of the M3 monetary aggregate. The Board will also cease publishing the following components: large-denomination time deposits, repurchase agreements (RPs), and Eurodollars. The Board will continue to publish institutional money market mutual funds as a memorandum item in this release. Measures of large-denomination time deposits will continue to be published by the Board in the Flow of Funds Accounts (Z.1 release) on a quarterly basis and in the H.8 release on a weekly basis (for commercial banks). M3 does not appear to convey any additional information about economic activity that is not already embodied in M2 and has not played a role in the monetary policy process for many years. Consequently, the Board judged that the costs of collecting the underlying data and publishing M3 outweigh the benefits.

People quickly forget about the PPP loans that were forgiven. Why are these different from student loan forgiveness?

[@GenXamerica]

Unfortunately because the ppps had the word “emergency” attached and there was a lot of fraud attached to pass giant omnibus bill packages in congress. With student loans the current POTUS thinks he can control the purse with executive orders and it is completely unconstitutional. Likely he found a way to include it in a more recent bill that also is so massive it will never be audited. We are being robbed and it’s a massive wealth transfer most people have no idea what’s going on (even our representatives approving it all).

[@tactileslut]

The lobbyists representing students don't have the "robust" conversations that those representing so-called small businesses do.

[@realestatemindset]

Todd is on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🎉💪🙏

[@quitscammingpeople9872]

No lies were told 😊

[@winniethebubbly]

The government keeps spending. Sadly most people complain about the defense budget, but don’t realize the interest payments are now more than the defense budget. We need financial education in this country

[@lisakirkland4530]

Best interview yet! Thanks so informative

[@Notaslave1961]

Todd please try and get Martin Armstrong on your show. He understands capital flows globally and how that will affect our stock, bond, currency and therefore real estate market.

[@voltron4ever]

Yes!!! Martin Armstrong is brilliant and straight up. I second this.

[@vivb.7161]

Yessssss!

[@ecopsych101]

Armstrong is a fraud…his “model” is a fraud

[@joelfarmer4850]

We have no money! Gold and Silver is real money

[@khafrekhufu7259]

Very informative

[@patriot7633]

Hi Todd I watched couple of your alarming clips. I was alert since last 15 years. I took early out from a Well Paying job to establish myself and my family destroyed my dreams by putting hurdles on my path. Here I am at 78 No Money, little money left N living on it by turning it around to survive with meager SS income of 15K/year. Thanks Mr Bush Jr. What can be done? I am working on it. I would Love to talk to you N share my ideas how to survive in this worst economic meltdown.

[@justinmatisewski1285]

Property taxes, homeowner insurance, and HOA are going to become big problems if/when the economy slows down.

[@jamesmckee9246]

Please get Catherine Austin Fitts on your show

[@artemishumaan6984]

She pointed out the trillions that were unaccounted and it probably went to the C1A slush fund for regime change purposed.

[@nikogio38]

Keep up the videos your content is quickly growing as the best!!!

[@albertcoral5986]

When he said Milton Friedman vs Kaynes I was convinced he knew what he was talking about. The fed did not cause the inflation; the overspending by one political party and the move to do away with drilling domestically caused the inflation.

[@markstringer4452]

He is right. My property tax is through the roof and my auto insurance crippled with no accidents or tickets credit cards interest is like a loan shark. Rent is unaffordable

[@crustyzimmerman3324]

The drug problem in Baltimore is so bad, not even the bridge can get high… Increase property tax, decrease the property value. Then black rock buy it cheap!

[@norahathson4318]

Great stream Todd. Thank you!

[@godfatherofcinema]

Great show and insights😊

[@patrickobrien2357]

Todd you are multi talented and do an excellent podcast.

[@pamholloway-jw3cz]

The only people who died were the ones who died from being on a ventilator

[@artemishumaan6984]

And because big pharma controls the government, they forced all doctors to ban hcq and ivermectin which could have saved lives with early use because both are antivirals and the entire medial community knew this for years. How is this suppression of a critical drug even possible? The lies are obvious. This is PROFIT OVER HUMAN LIFE. And, the law industrial complex is the one to focus on because they are the ones that enable all other complexes including pharma and military. You can see the lawfare going on right now as they have been using the entire government to destroy one man for 8 years. Why would you expend so much energy to destroy one man unless they are hiding the massive DC money laundering scheme hence why they need to tax us to death.

[@Mark-pb8kj]

and put on r3mdesivir, which had the highest m0rtality rate of 4 drugs used during the 2014 ebola study at over 51%

[@user-jr1is1dc5d]

They had people in car crashes dying from Covid

[@sharonkowaleski1267]

Terrific explanations! Very much appreciated!

[@therealestake]

Todd loves Baltimore like all of us down here in Florida love "back home." We say nice things and stay the hell out of there.

[@caseyrindal1815]

A monitorist is a little less crazy kanesian. They both believe fiat can be used with out inflation taking over. Kanesians believe supply of money fixes all problems. Monitorist believes the management of money is the answer. Up or down. They both believe the federal reserve is an honest entity. Makes them both crazy.

[@Viodoxy]

While you are correct, everyone blames the fed. The truth is that it is the politicians who create inflation.

[@jonathantaylor6926]

Amen. Free market capitalism and Central Banks are incompatible since the Central bank price fixes the most important price of them all- the price of money.

[@gort3791]

Monetarist. Keynesian.

[@stephengeorge3507]

Agreed, in the end,there brain washed like the rest

[@Shuguiis]

You left out he was and advisor to the president of Argentina in the 90’ lol😂,if this guy says we are in trouble we are in trouble

[@dash1bravo24]

Todd, you keep asking the same question if they're incompetent or doing it on purpose. I appreciate your tenacity with these guests that you ask, but you'll never get a straight answer.

[@user-qj6vg8gp3l]

Of course it is on purpose, his question must be rhetorical.

[@bersig]

Not sure how much I can trust the words of an advisor to the guy who gave us the war on drugs, bankster deregulation, civil forfeiture, and "trickle down" economics.

[@postscript123]

Is professor Henke aware of the book The Great Taking by David Rogers Webb?

[@jheichelbech]

Milton Friedman AND Thomas Sowell 😊

[@EmilyMedvec]

Post Keynesian models do not include history - all numbers no knowledge - when computers came in they used models to erase Milton Friedman. From someone trained in economics. and I knew inflation due to money supply would benefit my asset value.

[@jonswanson7766]

An excellent book on the subject @ 36:16 is by Jane Jacobs "Cities and the Wealth of Nations." The lack of sense displayed by some who allocate money for economic development.

[@PB111627]

Mortgage under Trump $560 pm same mortgage under Biden $4,000 pm
