    Lower Interest rates or a booming stock market do not resolve structural and systemic issues in the US economy :

    – The insane amounts of leverage in nearly all sectors including the stock, bond, property markets and Government. There are over 4000 ETF's in the US stock market !!

    US debt to GDP is now higher than after WW2. In order to resolve WW2 debt, the US ran Inflation at 5% for ten years, and high taxes (up to 90%) until 1964.

    – The fact that 90% of US GDP is from one source, AI

    – The fact that the US made five ships last year and the domestic manufacturing industry is poorly developed and unable to compete on a Global stage.

    – The debasement of the US dollar. (China is not helping by driving the price of Gold up to make it more attractive to investors than the USD)

    – Stagflation. (US Government CPI figures do not match in any way what consumers are seeing on the ground level)

    – Structural unemployment (not cyclical), of which a hidden percentage is long term and likely unresolvable. Just look at the streets of SanFrancisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland and more to see the real US unemployment issues.

    Interest rates and the stock market are symptoms, not causes and largely ineffective when dealing with the issues the US is facing

    In 2023 a person earning $50.00 per hour, could buy an ounce of gold for $2,000. 40 hours of work.
    Two years later:
    Today a person earning $50.00 per hour,has to work 80 hours to buy that same ounce of gold which costs $4,000.+
    Something not right here.
    Money is a store of energy expended and saved.

    The real value of gold is what it really costs to find,dig it up and process. $4,200. Sounds excessive. Especially since it only cost $2,000. 3 years ago.
    My house did not go up in value 100% in 3 years.

    Love the concern over manufacturing now that the United States was debased since something like 1995. Ray isn't early. He's VERY LATE. But know that he profited immensely from the very problem we are in now. If someone can provide a lecture or key note from 20 years ago with him delivering the same message, I will happily listen to it and take it back.

    Part of the perversions of capitalism is the encouragement of voracious consumption and the ability to consume being viewed as the pinnacle of success and greatness to be admired with everyone else viewed as lesser beings. The destruction of faith in the process only leads to insecurity, the feeling of being taken advantage of and deep-seated fear and anger.

    Mutual cooperation in trade is the only way to create prosperity in the world. The world is like the human body where every life-creating molecule depends on all the others to be healthy and sustaining. The problem are the molecules that go it alonr disregarding that without everything – everyone else they are nothing. These economic theories and government theories fail in the face of human greed and animosity to others.The administration of justice for white-colour crime is shameful world-wide

    Nobody can argue with this man's success. He's studied a lot of history, but I've never once heard him mention The Cantillon Effect, the essay written by Richard Cantillon in ~1750 explains how money enters into a state (economy/country) and it flows in certain ways. This always creates a wealth divide because some people save and invest in cash flowing assets and others consume and don't put any to work for themselves. The spenders end up on the bottom and the capitalists (savers and investors) build their wealth and it compounds and they end up on top. There are many different ways that money can enter into the state. In the essay it was from a silver mine. In the 1930s in the US we produced things and sold them to the world and we got their gold. By the end of WWII we had 75% of all the gold so it had to be redistributed back into the world. So we built up the nations we destroyed and then we were running out of gold so they convinced the world to accept paper dollars and now we're coming to another turning point where it looks like we're heading back to doing business in gold and the transition is going to be painful. Ray has a different way of explaining this, but it's all the same thing. This pattern repeats itself over and over throughout history.
