The best way to protect yourself from inflation is to borrow a lot of money

About 1% of Americans understand this, which means there’s no political pressure

You have more faith in the Fed than I do.

You’re both right. What nobody is talking about is our future taxes to pay for

For the dummies (not me of course) what steps could be taken for protection?

I would start by doing a cash out refinance on your home. Take the 30 year term

Gente_Boa

Are you suggesting the US will default on debt and devalue currency?

Big Daddy D

11/17/21 4:36pm
