people are not spending down frivolously in most cases, they are spending to survive.

Do these elite bankers even actually realize what is happening out in the real world?

The elites have a long-term plan. By destroying savings, they can buy up all the assets for a fraction of the value.

They want you to save, so your savings can be taken from you.

Basics economics no longer apply. They are sabotaging the world’s economy.

I thought that 56% of American households were living paycheck-to-paycheck. Where are all these wealthy people?

Interest rates are still far too low to encourage people to invest in debt instruments.

The Vanguard Intermediate Term Bond ETF (BIV) - $12.6 billion under management - invests only in 5-10 year US Treasury debt and investment grade corporate debt.

It pays just 2.30%. And - because bond prices move inversely to increasing interest rates - the BIV share price has crashed from $94 to $74!

Apparently not.
This is not demand driven inflation. Its deficit spending and energy supply driven.These problems are not being addressed. We are doomed.

I can remember when I opened my first bank account as a teenager, the interest on that savings account was somewhere around 10%. Today, banks give you 1% (or significantly less), while they loan that money out at 15-25% via credit cards. What a scam.

The Fed is going to keep raising rates until something breaks.
