We have been saying the Federal Reserve is bluffing in this inflation fight because it is holding a losing hand.
And Peter Schiff thinks the central bank has folded with a soft pivot. He explained why on his podcast.
Inflation is squeezing American budgets to the breaking point.
According to a LendingClub survey, the number of Americans living paycheck to paycheck is nearing record levels.
Economist Nouriel Roubini says Federal Reserve is going to “wimp out” on the inflation fight and that will lead to a dollar crash.
Roubini is the Professor Emeritus at the Stern School of Business, New York University. He recently appeared on Bloomberg Markets and Finance to talk about threats to the global economy.
Roubini predicted the housing bubble would pop in an IMF position paper in 2006. When asked if we were there again, he emphatically said, “Yes.”
Air continues to seep out of the housing bubble blown up with the Fed’s artificially low interest rates in the wake of the pandemic.
Sales of previously owned homes fell by 1.5% in September, according to a National Association of Realtors report. It was the eighth straight month of declining home sales.
Ben Bernanke was one of the architects of the inflation you’re suffering from today. He won a Nobel Prize for his efforts.
Bernanke rolled out quantitative easing to rescue the economy in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. At the time, he swore it was a temporary emergency measure and that the Fed would eventually sell all of the bonds it was accumulating on its balance sheet. He insisted that it was not a debt monetization scheme.
Inflation is raging. The economy is teetering on the brink. Government spending is out of control. All of this has a root cause. Our money is broken. In this episode of the Friday Gold Wrap podcast, host Mike Maharrey talks about what broke our money and the only way to fix it. He also reveals the illusion of rising wages and breaks down Whoopi Goldberg’s inflation blame game.
Gold is nature’s money.
Aristotle listed four characteristics of sound money: it must be durable, portable, divisible, and have intrinsic value. Gold possesses all of these characteristics, which is why gold has served as money for thousands of years.
You’re making more money. But you can’t buy as much stuff.
Why?
Because inflation continues to eat away at your wages.
The Federal Reserve is between a rock and a hard place, and it’s going to have to make a hard choice – inflation or economic implosion. Peter Schiff talked about it on his podcast.
As Peter Schiff put it in a recent podcast, the inflation insanity continues.
We got the September Consumer Price Index (CPI) data and it once again came in hotter than expected. Month-on-month, CPI was up 0.4%. That was double the 0.2% expectation. On an annual basis, the CPI was 8.2%.
