    Yes .. a ponzi fraud.. I am beginning to see that the market is running out of easy money.. and are looking for pools of value to cannibalize, or to talk you into borrowing against your homes' equity so they can charge you interest on your own money.

    Tucker Carlson exposed Paul Singer, owner of Elliot Management, a private equity firm. Paul Singer is a top donor to the Republican party. Allegedly, according to WRMEA, Paul Singer shipped US tech jobs to Israel. Spread the news! Tell a conservative to watch Tucker's "What Is Destroying Rural America".

    The elephant in the room is government. Ask Copilot if a 100% tax of US income over 500K is enough or if 100% confiscation of billionaire wealth will solve our issues – makes it much worse. You mention a firm adversely affecting a community because of debt. Penny wise and dollar foolish. The county is being destroyed with 37 trillion in national debt. Don't focus on a bug bite when there's a nuke about to go off.

    We are in a 4th turning crisis because of over 50 years of deficit spending. Deficit spending abuses the poor and middle classes while benefiting the rich. Copy the rich if you can with assets that do well in inflationary environments. Ask Copilot what government can do to mitigate this crisis. Some of you might be shocked when you compare the actions Trump has taken. Also ask Copilot what you can do to survive a 4th turning. Hint: A job and simple savings are not enough.

    By mitigating this crisis Trump is helping the poor and the middle classes. It's not an accident that billionaires are not doing as will recently. I can understand why Democrat billionaires that proclaim balancing the budget is evil would want to attack and delay Trump every chance they can. Musk personally lost $150 billion trying to do the right thing with DOGE.

    BTW I have a pension. If Trump fails and a dollar reset is required, my pension could buy as little as 20% of what it buys today. Some models give it a low change (<10%) of happening. Others give it a 30-50% chance. The debt is not going away until the county unites and says no more debt no matter what. Until that happens, the little guy is going to be screwed. Believe what you want, it won't stop this train wreck 50+ years in the making. Prepare and survive until better times after we nail those bastards that think deficit spending is okay. I have to invest in a way to prepare for such a possible worst case scenario.

    BTW A 4th turning crisis is normal about every 80 years or so. Good old human nature.

    Smoking! …This is really outstanding segment. One of the best & sharpest takedowns of P.E. yet. Bookmark this one.

    Isn't it amazing how we just love socialism for profits, but oh, how much we need "belt-tightening" for the costs. The exquisite effectiveness of our system is simply wonderful.

    I worked for a family owned business for 15 years. The company had a wonderful product, a skilled workforce and a large number of regular customers. Private equity bought the company, cut wages, discarded best practices, discarded customers. The company is barely getting by.

    Imagine Richard Gere in Pretty Woman as a complete moronic asshole and you've got tRump. He's heavily leveraged, borrowed tons of money from Elon so he could buy a country, break it up and sell it off for parts, just like Putin did, only with merch and branding rights. He's the movie, were it about Philip Stuckey. The United States of America has fallen to a corporate raiding.

    Ok…but only if the funds faultering causes any loses to come directly out of pockets of ALL the billionaires regardless of involvement,,,everything is linked in our economic system….if someone wins someone also loses and billionaires control everything. They afe the Federal Reserve,,,private wealthso any financial fandangle like derivatives and fractional banking are putting the oney ment to provide for retirement because the only person enriched in fund management it who manages it regardless of success or failure and frankly the retirement funds arent for anyone else but whom its foramd that nevet should change

    1:11 Private Equity doesn't often "spruce" up any company. They just milk the EBITDA for years and years until the company peters out, then they move on or sell whatever remains.

    First time I'm seeing this! Thanks for the heads up! I'm betting they'll close the loophole as soon as the major firms have offloaded their assets to their satisfaction

    So an industry that isn't even really an industry and instead 3 loan sharks wearing a trenchcoat is careening down a death spiral comparable to the 08 housing crash, and all our politicians want to just dump our retirement funds into it so that they can get short term profit…. And leave the entire American population destitute, shuttering multiple major businesses, all while cutting social security and Medicaid.

    They want you to die. They want to suck the marrow from your parents bones so that Bezos can get another yatch. They want to enslave us all and throw our corpses into a meat grinder if it spits out a single extra dollar bill.

    Thank you for this informative piece. I'm still floored that "Joe the Plummer" still thinks that after having no competition for our goods and services, billionaires, representatives, and private investors give a "F" about him. This is beyond insane.

    Hi Leeja. I’m so glad you’re talking about this. It’s a tale as old as time, frankly.

    I tell my family and friends that when I actually read the Bible, it made me liberal.

    The book of Amos talks about this very phenomenon. Merchants bought out the subsistance farmers then made them work to pay off their own debt. Those farmers starved and the rich kept getting richer. This will always and forever happen if people don’t do their very hardest to make it illegal and enforce the laws and regulations!!! Thanks for putting a name to what I keep trying to tell my MAGA evangelical family about!

    The fact the rich people can pay a lobbyist to tell our elected officials whatever said wealth person wants them to hear and since those same rich people under all Americans so we have to spend all our time working or we die. So Americans politicians only hear form people being payed by wealth people. But money in politics isn’t a problem for politicians just the people those politicians represent. 😅

    I dont see how liberals act like they hate billionaire corporations when they support them the most. Look at how corporations suck up tp them with the LGBT virtue signaling for example. Its everywhere and its all designed to make them happy with employment and "stuff" . Take Starbucks, Apple, and Target for example. Who works at these place? Who is there customer base? Ill believe lib actually cares about this when lib stop working for them or buying their crap. Until then lib will do what they do best. Blame Trump instead of their BMI, vaping addiction, nose rings and victim mentality. Also, please dont invest in a 401K if you're too victimized to have the energy to research. The people who do invest will need someone to work the Starbucks counter for us.

    OMG Leeja Miller! You just opened my eyes to Private Equity investments and their corruption. I was sad when Joann's closed, and now I'm angry too! Investors are taking our companies away! But I'm even more angry that we could see these corrupt investments in our 401Ks, risking our retirement money! Sending "Vote No on the Equal Opportunity for All Investors Act" to my senators now. Thank you!
