[@anthonymilner1088]

Today's inflation is a result of corporate avarice, not only problems with the supply chain. We know that the money obtained by the higher prices isn't being transmitted along the supply chain since businesses are reporting record profits. More pricing result in increased revenue for businesses, which stays with them and goes into their pockets. We can rule out supply-related inflation because of this. If your stocks are extremely weak, now is an excellent opportunity to take a battered 401k and convert it to a Roth. Then, your Roth will be tax-free, and you will just have to pay taxes on the substantially reduced current values.

Depending on what you spend your money on.. INFLATION IS PROBABLY HIGHER THAN 7.1% FOR YOU! A 7.1% CPI means cash is losing 50% of its buying power every 10 years.

Saving your money instead of investing it means your wealth is being transferred to people who own assets.

Mike - I finally had to get involved in politics after 78 years of staying informed but staying out of the arena. I have become an activist and have about 50 volunteers working on changing county, city and school board elected officials. I frequently display that debt clock at both the county and city government levels. They all acknowledge the problem, but no one wants to be the first one to stop taking the "free" money as if they did the next guy would just get their share. So human nature being what it is, I am afraid it will take a "hard reset" to our financial system, which will not be good for anyone.

I whole heartily agree about the reckless spending and it has been going on for many years. Too much $$$ has been doled out to those that don’t really need it. All those stimulus checks, some going to households with $190K income was a big mistake. The money should have been prorated based on income across the board, I.e., bigger checks for smallest incomes with a much smaller cutoff threshold. Too many people either put the windfall into their savings or paid down debt. No help to the economy. People need to think about the future and not saddle our grand/children with all that debt.

Mike and family …. Spot on. Thank you for stepping up to the plate and laying it out to the American People. A good read some time is the “ obituary of common sense”… thank you for just stating the facts

[@parkermichael620]

You are right but did a new truckbin 1970 have backup cameras abs how many miles did that truck last. What was average size of a new home in 1970 and what amenities did it have. What regulations did home builders and car manufacturers have to deal with in 1970? How difficult was it to collect rent in 1970 and how easy was it to get rid of a bad tenant. I agree printing more money is part of it more there is more to it than that.

Nailed it. I’m 58. We’ve seen this acceleration of inflation first hand. Great video Mike. ❤️🇺🇸

Well done Mike!! You hit the nail on the head with a big hammer!!! Wreck less spending and aid!!!! Hope it turns around soon!!!!

[@jmespowell9742]

Your spot on. I have read the creature from Jekyll island.

Great Video Mike I enjoy videos like this about the issues going on with our Country.

[@awesomesauce7535]

i agree with your take on our country's fiscal situation. And love that stove and how comforting the fire looks.

[@neilfarrar9917]

Totally agree with what you said about the cause of inflation and the need for those in power to divide each of us, which keeps the focus off of them. Living debt free is our goal and something we have been working towards for several years, as well as having multiple streams of income.

[@danj8404]

You are so right on the current situation. Living in states that aren't into high spending and not living in cities may help as well.

[@jeremymiller4261]

Great video Mike! Totally agree with your sentiment about the division among us. Instead of attacking each other we should spend more time holding politicians accountable. No accountability whatsoever in many cases.

Everything you said in this video is 100% correct. I'm impressed with the fact that you are not afraid to speak about it publicly. Don't worry about the negative comments and emails. They only wish to slow the spread of facts and truth.

Hi Mike - agree 100% - (from the UK) My thoughts - stay debt free - and develop neighbourhood support - small balanced groups Excellent channel - Thank you

Greg from northern Michigan. Inflation is Bad, unless your adding air to your car, truck, or tractor tires. Love your channel, content, and positive message.

Without a drastic change in direction, this may end in a depression for years.
