The inflation tax has a fantastic ability to simply consume capital. It makes no difference to a widow with her saving in a 5 percent passbook account whether she pays 100 percent income tax on her interest income during a period of zero inflation, or pays no income taxes during years of 5 percent inflation. Either way, she is 'taxed' in a manner that leave her no real income whatsoever. Any money she spends comes right out of capital. She would find outrageous a 120 percent income tax, but doesn't seem to notice that 5 percent inflation is the economic equivalent.” - Warren Buffett

Speaking as a CPA, blame inflation mainly on massive goverment spending (using our taxpayer money) and the Federal Reserve's monetary policies based on MMT ideology (including interest rates being set way too low for way too long). Inflation is a hidden tax and literal theft by government through intentional devaluation of the currency and as a result, citizens' purchasing power. Therefore, the Federal Reserve's inflation target should be 0%, not 2%+ CPI. Anything more than 0% is theft by the government from the people. Not to mention, "2% CPI" is really 5%+ true inflation if you use an independent measure of inflation like Truflation or ShadowStats rather than the government's artificial CPI. The government's CPI metric is intentionally designed to leave out certain baskets of goods and services that Americans spend their money on, and disgraceful "hedonic quality adjustments" because it benefits government to underreport true inflation (to lower the real costs of paying huge government debt, and to limit increases to government payouts like social security).

I was just looking into this (following the previous video) and the whole SS trust thing is misleading. In particular, no significant amount of money is held in the trust, only about 2 years worth of payouts is in the reserve right now. It still does matter though, because this revenue (SS payroll tax) is guaranteed to be paid out to SS recipients. They would NOT cut SS payouts to balance the budget, it wouldn't make any sense, because it's not technically losing money. Since 2020 there have been some losses but this is paid from the balance and it's not enough to change the overall story.

Im a late millennial, 29 years old residing in LA, California. The majority of my friends don't have kids. A lot aren't married. Its quite the problem we have here. I'd love to have kids, but i'd feel selfish to have them if times are looking worse in the future. If anybody understands monetary policy and how the economy works, the future ain't lookin bright.

When accounting for a constant annual deficit of $1.45 trillion along with a 4% interest rate, U.S. debt could become unmanageable in approximately 13 years. This is when interest payments would exceed 50% of total government spending, assuming spending remains constant.

[@ptylock1]

Unfortunately, nothing will happen unless they stop spending! PERIOD. And they won't. Biden, Harris, Trump blah blah blah. They won't, because at this point. They can't.

[@nykareem2001]

Is the issue spending or how the debt is allocated?

[@ptylock1]

@nykareem2001 my personal opinion, I think they need to stop the spending first. Then figure out the rest from there.

[@AntonStetner]

​@@ptylock1totally agree. You have to stop the spending aka stem the bleeding. Then we can go through the trauma response and figure everything else out

[@hansmeier3923]

In Germany during the hyperinflation people with debts faced a high extra-tax. It was called the "Hauszinssteuer". In english it is "Home interst tax". Maybe something similar comes in the US. The tax was based on a proposal by Berlin City Councillor Martin Wagner for an equalization of burdens, with which property owners were to share in the costs of publicly subsidized housing construction after the First World War. Due to the loss in value of mortgages as a result of hyperinflation up to 1923, property owners had previously been practically completely relieved of their debts, while their property had not lost value as a result of inflation.

[@cliffdariff74]

Owning property is not automatically easy, or makes one rich... it's long term to wealth.

[@CameronTheHuman]

I see a lot of people blaming corrupt politicians and the rich for the debt crisis, but it’s not that simple. There’s more at play than just bad actors, it’s a complex system with a lot of moving parts. Instead of just pointing fingers, we need to focus on policy solutions that can actually improve things. Cutting programs across the board might sound like a solution, but that creates bigger problems. Programs like Social Security, healthcare, and education aren’t just expenses, they provide economic stability. If we slash them, it doesn’t just save money, it causes job losses and reduces consumer spending, which shrinks the economy. Look at what happened in Kansas when they made massive cuts to education and services, it led to a statewide budget crisis and economic stagnation. On the flip side, relying on printing more money leads to inflation, which hurts the middle and lower classes the most. Prices for essentials like food and housing soar, eroding people’s buying power. Venezuela’s hyperinflation is a clear example of this, where basic goods became unaffordable and the economy collapsed. We often think the ultra wealthy want to keep getting richer while keeping others poor, but that can backfire. When the middle class weakens, the rich also lose in the long run. A strong economy requires a strong consumer base, and if most people can’t afford basic goods or services, businesses suffer, stock prices drop, and even the wealthy take a hit. The rich can only stay rich if there’s a stable, functioning economy beneath them. So, keeping the general population economically strong is in everyone’s interest, including the wealthy. Instead of these extreme measures, we should focus on making systems more efficient. For example, the US spends significantly more on healthcare per person than countries like Canada or the UK, yet we don’t see better outcomes. Reforming how we handle pricing (by negotiating drug prices or eliminating redundant administrative costs) could save billions without cutting care. Similarly, the military budget is another area. Do we really need to spend billions on outdated equipment, or can we focus on modern threats like cybersecurity? Taxation is also part of this. It’s not just about cutting or raising taxes, it’s about making sure the tax system is effective. We can keep or raise taxes on the wealthy and corporations, but we also need to close loopholes that let them avoid paying their fair share. For example, closing the carried interest loophole, which allows hedge fund managers to pay lower tax rates on their income, or preventing multinational corporations from using offshore tax havens to avoid US taxes, would bring in significant revenue without raising rates on average Americans. The key takeaway here is that we can’t just blame vague actors like ‘the corrupt.’ We need to focus on what specific policies will improve the system. It’s about optimization, not oversimplification.

[@JuwanBuchanan]

You pretty much nailed. Bad politics, corrupt politicians, and greed has gotten us to this point.

saving money means less jobs according to your logic. think of all those lost admin jobs and significant effects on the people working in those industries.

Honestly our government has no idea how people are suffering these days. I much feel sorry for the disabled and homeless people who don't get the help they deserve. Everyone needs more than their salary to be financial stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly, because money left for saving always end up used with no returns.
