Will Your Assets Be Confiscated? As a former cop, and a veteran of two urban riots, please allow me to share my thoughts. If those in "supposed" power attempt to seize assets that required a lifetime of hard work, blood, sweat, toil, time, tears and sacrifice to earn and save to benefit themselves and their families, then all semblance of a social contract with that government will be shattered with no turning back! If everything is taken, then what does a person have to lose? Believe me! I have witnessed the reality of uncontrolled urban riots decades ago, and the nightmare of that truly frightens me to the core! CBDCs must be stopped at all costs as well, as I genuinely fear that could mean the end not only of personal freedom, but the Republic, and quite possibly the end of modern civilization itself. What would be the incentive to dedicate yourself, work hard and sacrifice only to allow bureaucrats to control every aspect of your God-given life?

Pushing back what age you can retire is so short sighted. Just because people are living longer doesn't mean they are able to keep working longer.

[@kirdref9431]

Summary: Fed saying it is "data dependent" is just an excuse to print money as long as the ensuing inflation is confined to housing inflation and stock inflation, rather than consumer+wage inflation. This is what happened in 2008-2018. As long as China would sell us goods and Saudi Arabia would sell us oil, accepting the US dollar as payment, although USD was continuously being devalued due to money-printing, the Fed was happy, the rich got richer (increasing house+stock prices, tax breaks paid for by printing money (rather than having the spending paid by taxing the rich)), and the poor got poorer (their labor and savings lost value every year, but the poor got by via inexpensive China consumer goods. In 2018-2020, Fed was starting to unprint money because people were starting to wake up to the reality of the inflation damage being done. Then the March 2020 Covid19 panic-printing of 5T USD happened because Fed wanted to protect the wealth of the wealthy. And absolutely horrific inflation occurred in housing, stocks AND consumables (food, energy, ....). And here we are. The country is a giant disaster and we are starting wars all over the place to cover up the problem and make other countries pay the price of our sins. Similar to 1918-1929, and one major cause of World War 2.

I understand the Professor places great weight on the money supply contraction / expansion which is supported with an enviable track record on inflation predictions. Surely the record level of debt which continues to be accrued in the US is also a very important consideration. As a regular listener, I'm almost thinking that if the Money Supply is in balance correctly the Professor is suggesting the economy will be Ok. Surely there is a limit to the amount of debt the US can bear regardless of M2. I would respectfully suggest that once the ability to service debt has been breached beyond available revenue from taxes or other forms of revenue, the economy is but a short distance from collapse regardless of M2.

One opinion is that gold will not be confiscated as it was in 1933 because there simply are not enough people holding it for the government to go through the trouble of confiscating it.

[@jcgoogle1808]

1. Yes,... the "commercial war" with china is all the US's fault, The US, who made china a world class manufacturing base, is being unfair against china. And the US is confiscating American assets,.. according to Hanke. But when an American company does business in china, it has to be owned 51% by a chinese/CCP company. That's not unfair,.. according to Hanke. And sanctions against russia for attacking Ukraine is also unfair against russia. America is just one bad country and should bow to if not be punished by china and russia who should be allowed to do whatever they want. Btw,.. that's sarcasm,... and I despise the senile ole joe admin for destroying the country,.. but America is not the unfair one here. 2. And as I explained in other videos,.. his tired ole Quantity Theory of money doesn't work to determine inflation,.. or not in developed economies anyway. And his taking the log of MV=PQ and differentiating to create an addition equation, didn't make anyone's "eyes roll back". The Hanke "golden rule" hasn't worked. And it's not due to the black magic of the "long and variable" lag. The only place where inflation is strongly proportional to money supply and NOT supply and demand in general,... is in these 3rd world sheetholes where they print money out the wazoo and Hanke gets his anecdotal data. This is fiscal dominance. They don't have a functioning bond market because interest rates would be astronomically high. Otherwise, in normal economies,... inflation is a function of supply and demand of commodities, labor, technology,,.. and on and on,. and to a major degree the supply and demand of money,.. which has 2 components,.. that effect it 1. monetary policy and 2. fiscal policy which act much like real and imaginary numbers in trigonometry or a phasor diagram in electricity and magnetism or 2 or 3 dimensional vectors in mechanics,.. where fiscal policy, deficits spending, helicoptering checks is projected on a vertical axis and monetary policy where the Fed adjusts interest rates or does QE is projected on the horizontal axis. The more projected on the vertical axis, the more it contributes directly to inflation. Because monetary policy is used to provide or restrict reserves to the banking system,.. which uses those reserves to generate money through loans that are attached to an asset and an obligation to be repaid. Not necessarily inflationary. Just see Japan. Fiscal policy, these days,... involves direct payments to consumers with no asset attached to it or an obligation to pay it back. Extremely inflationary. Japan doesn't do that. We're not quite at the 3rd world sheethole stage yet,.. but we're getting there, Hanke needs to retire.

That’s about how much growth you would expect if it is compounding at a rate of 6% per year for 24 years.

[@generemotebookkeeping6813]

@@alexk1843 how much deflation will we have after the bubble burst is the question? After the bubble burst in 1929, and then again in 2001 the stock market went down more than 83% both times. I suspect when it happens again, house prices will collapse more than 90%. Everything returns to the mean.

They have known since 2001 that there would be a population collapse due to aging and declining populations, see United Nations document about migration eong a solution to aging and declining populations. The is a political agenda of the UN Sustainable Development Goals around migration. Migration is supposed to help make our systems solvent. These migrants are the new labor pool. There a global conversation about raising the retirement age. This is why the boarder is open and the US Congress voted in the Office of the New Americans. Americans are being gaslighted.ven more concerning is that the US State Department under Kissenger put out the Kissenger Report, which discussed using agriculture and education to reduce fertility globally. This came out in the mid 1970s. About the same time "The Limitations of Growth" from the Club of Rome.

As a physician, I almost ALWAYS have to “water down the wine” so patients can understand doctor-speak. Over the yrs, I think I’ve done a pretty good job. This guy, and other economists like him, seem to run in circles with their laborious explanations. Now I get the money velocity concept! Well, I’m being polite. Even the interviewer was squirming but then tried to clarify money velocity. Both did a poor job, imho. Yes, mathematically, it can be complex. All the more reason to know your script so well, you can forget it. Then explain the concept.

I think it’s related to the programs in US. Like IRA initiative, debt forgiveness for student loans, welfare…. Etc so these initiatives pump $$$ into the economy, rather than the money thrown out of helicopters etc during covid…. Just my theory anyway

Working towards sustainable (static) population size is not discussed enough. Of course this requires financial planning and an adequate social security savings plan throughout adult life. Green Peace chose not to push this policy position because it was considered too controversial. Govts currently and historically have failed us regarding international relations. The old British Whitehall system at least provided a core of govt competency. WEF has been quite damaging.

[@brentirwin1386]

If money supply increased by 40 percent since 2020 your 4 percent drop might not be as significant as it was before because they only increased supply by 5 percent! So might you then need to see a much larger drop in money supply to see the same recession!

[@lizkeith1356]

EVERY STATE MUST REWRITE THE TERMS OF THEIR UCC AGREEMENT IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE PEOPLES' ASSETS FROM SEIZURE. ALSO, EVERY STATE NEEDS TO CREATE A STATE-SOVEREIGN BANK TO KEEP LOCAL MONEY, LOCAL, AND AWAY FROM THE EVIL SCHEMES OF THE CENTRAL BANKS. STOP THE UPFLOW/OUTFLOW OF STATE MONEY.

I think we will pay the "inflation tax" it is more stealth... just have to cut 1031 out of the law and tax home sales. Think about it. If you have an asset, when you sell it you are taxed on the gain, so during high inflation the gain on the sale of the inflated asset is taxed more.

[@rebeccatan8]

I am confused. On one hand, Prof Hanke says there will likely be deflation in line with contraction in money supply. But since fiscal deficits are also inflationary, would the expectation of deflation still hold as US has been running deficits during the same period that money supply has been decreasing… ?

[@user-qj6vg8gp3l]

Well it's all a matter of degree, it's like a see-saw, a polarity. How much inflation on one end and how much deflationary pressure on the other? Contracting the money supply will have deflationary effect, but that effect can be over come by inflation, and you will still have in inflation, just less. Basically he was only saying contracting the money supply in a recession is deflationary. Not that that would be the outcome of our situation.

[@rebeccatan8]

He said money supply has been contending since 2022 , hence applying the monetary theory, inflation shld come down by this year end.

As you probably know, those making above $168,000.00 per year pay no Social Security taxes on any amount above this number. I was able to take advantage of the cut off on Social Security several times but on those years I didn't qualify for any of the stimulus checks that most people received.
