There are many subjects that human beings prefer not to discuss, but money should not be one of them. By 2015, it is likely that today’s dollar will lose at least 50% of its purchasing power. The government’s inflation figure is adjusted and exclusive. It is therefore a lie. This untruth allows it to increase Social Security benefits a measly 2-3% per year, when 10% would truly reflect actuality.

Everything this government has done during the past seven years portends higher inflation. It has wasted billions on war. It has borrowed unimaginable amounts. It has created credit out of nothing, flooding our economy with cheap, devaluing dollars. It has lowered taxes on the wealthier. It has encouraged consumption and made saving almost impossible. It has bailed out Wall Street at the expense of main Street.

Commodity prices tell us what’s coming. History tells us that inflation follows a war financed by the creation of new money. Other nations are telling us, as they flee into other currencies.

Just remember one thing: This Administration does nothing for you. Everything that is being done is for others. Something may trickle down, but you might not have a cup to catch it. As soon as there’s trouble, the anti-government, market mavens run like piglets to moma pig.
