Stagflation is coming. What is it, and why should we care? (Guest: Ron Paul and Brett Winterble)

Therefore, prices are supposed to go down, not up. So, Stagflation is a little bit like bootstrapping and defying gravity. The last time we saw Stagflation was in the 1970s  when inflation hit 13.3%, unemployment over 6%, and the Fed raised interest rates to 20% to slow … Read more

Fed Hike of 50 Basis Points Is Too Little, Too Late For Unprecedented Government Spending

by

Former congressman Ron Paul available for TV Interviews Intro: The Fed is attempting to fix an economy after demolishing it with one wrecking ball after another.

Ron Paul On Inflation, Debt, Stocks, Government Spending

by

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 … Read more
