Thoughts On Trump's Infrastructure Spending Plans

President Trump thinks it's the perfect time for the government to borrow trillions more to improve our infrastructure. That's like a guy who just lost his job deciding it's the perfect time to take out a second mortgage to put in the swimming pool he's always wanted.

You Are Paying For The Bailouts!

If you don't know who is paying for the massive stimulus bill and bailouts, it's you. There's no free lunch. Everyone who saves or earns dollars will have their purchasing power stolen to fund an unprecedented increase in government spending. If you don't want to pay, buy gold.

Gold Is The Safe Haven

Treasury bonds are not a safe haven. The Federal Reserve will own all the Treasury bonds, as well as most other U.S. dollar denominated debt. The problem is that the tens of trillions of dollars the Fed will print to buy all those bonds will be practically worthless. Gold is the safe haven.

Real bond yields will plunge as inflation soars. Normally rising inflation would push up nominal yields to compensate buyers for the erosion of their purchasing power. But since the Federal Reserve is buying to keep nominal yields from rising, the entire bond market is about to be monetized!

Gold: How It Reacts During Crisis

During the 2008 financial crisis, gold fell about 25 percent and took seven months to make a new high. This time gold only fell about 15 percent, and may make a new high in under a month. This shows how much greater this financial crisis is, and how much more reckless current Fed policy is.

Bailing Out The Airline Industry

Watching CNBC anchors spreading more industry propaganda that without a government bailout, the U.S. will not have an airline industry. Without a bailout the U.S. will have a much stronger airline industry. To work at CNBC one must fail a test on free market economics.
