I am going to say what most people in media are too afraid to say. The candidates being served up to American voters right now are an embarrassment, and the system propping them up is worse. South Park called it years ago, and nothing has changed.
If you are being told to vote Republican or the country goes communist, you deserve an explanation for why the same people praising that message are cheering a warm relationship with Kim Jong-un while North Korea ships fifty thousand troops to help Russia. I am going to explain it, because the influencers sure will not.
The Treasury just revived a 1960s gimmick to manipulate bond rates, and the financial media is treating it like genius policy. I am here to tell you exactly what this trick is, why it does not solve the underlying problem, and what it means for your wallet.
They tried to rage bait me into ignoring it, but the numbers don’t lie. The financial schemes wrapped in political branding right now are extracting billions from loyal Americans who think they’re investing in something real. I’ve seen this playbook before, and it never ends well for the people at the bottom.
A long-duration government bond ETF is down 63 percent over six years, Washington collected $4.5 trillion and spent $6.3 trillion in ten months, and they want you to believe we’re in a golden age. I’m done playing nice with these numbers.

168 million Americans are on a government transfer payment right now. That is half the country. And the Republicans who go on television to rail against socialism helped build this system.
When 86% of upper-class Americans don’t believe their kids will have a better life, the system isn’t just failing the poor anymore. It’s failing everyone, and the people selling you optimism have a financial incentive to keep you confused.
The higher education industrial complex has spent decades convincing families that debt-financed college is an investment. It is not. It is a product they are selling you, and the price tag is ruining lives.
The talking heads on cable news, the social media influencers, and the political cheerleaders all told you things were going to change. I told you to deal with the terrain. Guess who was right.
