Inflation is one of the most significant issues facing Americans today. For a while, we were able to cut back on luxury items. But with skyrocketing prices on our basic needs to survive, like food and shelter, we may soon be forced to but back on necessities.
During the Trump Administration, gas was under $2 a gallon just two years ago. Today it’s about $4.50 and still rising. As a result, millions of people now no longer view gasoline as a necessity. Instead, gas has downshifted from a necessity to a luxury!
Something has to give. It is unsustainable for virtually everything to rise in price with wages not keeping up—especially for those on fixed incomes.
We are witnessing massive government spending. U.S. Debt is at an all-time high. The dollar is weak, but where can we put our money where it can keep up with inflation? Until recently, real estate was skyrocketing, but mortgage rates are now on a trajectory straight up, likely to slow down or drive down real estate values. Stocks have risen, but some see the market as a bubble ready to burst.
Helping us sort through our current financial fiasco is former Congressman and Presidential candidate Ron Paul, who has been warning for decades that the day would come when all this fiscal irresponsibility would come home to roost. Welcome, Dr. Ron Paul.
Talking Points:
- Perhaps an “I told you so” would be in order. You were often the lone voice urging restraint, warning us not to take the road leading to our current destination. Tell us about those warnings and which, if any, were heeded.
- What new warnings can you issue today? And what specific actions should our leaders take to turn things around?
- Do you believe the government statistics on inflation are accurate? If not, what are the real inflation numbers?
- Inflation erodes cash. Money Market yields are low. Interest rates paid on our money in the bank are virtually nonexistent. Are there any options left to park some of our hard-earned money in the hope of keeping up with inflation?
- You are a spokesperson for Birch Gold Group, a tangible assets company specializing in selling gold and silver coins. In your opinion, what is the outlook for gold, and is it possible we may soon see record-high gold prices?
- Where may we get more information on possible precious metals investments? Answer: At BirchGold.com
