Precarious Times Lay Ahead for the Moribund American Economy

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” and the Ultimate Demise of the Dollar

Despite considerable arm-twisting, President Donald Trump’s laughably misnamed “Big Beautiful Bill” (actually a Big Ugly Atrocity) barely passed both houses of Congress.  Such a monstrosity, which has been conservatively estimated to add $5 trillion to the national debt including interest over the next decade, is a slap in the face to those souls who believed … Continue reading Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” and the Ultimate Demise of the Dollar

Big Spending Continues Under Trump

U.S. Fertility Rates Collapse

The destructive demographic effects of the leftist social engineering schemes of the past century are now being felt in the latest federal data on the precipitous decline in U.S. birth rates.  A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control shows that the fertility rate among U.S. women has fallen to 1.62 births per woman … Continue reading U.S. Fertility Rates Collapse

What the Rising Gold Price Signals

The recent run-up in the gold price has not garnered the attention among the mainstream financial media outlets as it should.  Gold has, in part, been overshadowed by the rise in the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.  Naturally, the financial press, which is really an arm of the government and its central bank, wants … Continue reading What the Rising Gold Price Signals

The U.S. Is Spending $1 Trillion Every 100 Days On The Deficit

While it made some headlines in the financial press, neither policy makers nor the two presumptive presidential nominees have paid much attention to the fact that the U.S. is adding a mind-boggling $1 trillion to the national debt every 100 days.  This amounts to around $3.6 trillion annually.  As law makers remain willfully ignorant of … Continue reading The U.S. Is Spending $1 Trillion Every 100 Days On The Deficit

A Warning of Economic Collapse
