The Fed expanded the money supply by nearly $9 trillion under Powell.
Inflation has averaged >4% per year over the past 6 years.
Powell's explanation? It was nearly all due to rolling “supply shocks" over which the Fed has no control.
The truth: this inflation was made in Washington as it always is - from too much government borrowing/spending and too much government creation of money.
I spent 7+ years studying money full time to understand how the financial system was designed to keep you poor forever.
Here are the top 10 brutal truths no one will ever teach you (THREAD):
1. Every dollar is your life compressed into a token.
“Consumers don't produce inflation. Producers don't produce inflation.
Inflation is produced only by too much government spending and too much government creation of money, and nothing else.”
— Milton Friedman
The 50-year mortgage sounds like a good idea at first. It promises to make homeownership affordable. While it sounds clever on paper, it's a financial time bomb in practice.
Jumping from a 15-year mortgage to a 30-year mortgage lowers your payments by 34% – the difference between a $500,000 and a $670,000 home. But a 50-year mortgage lowers payments by less than 8%.
Say you take a $500,000 loan. A 30-year mortgage at 6% costs roughly $3,000 per month. But a 50-year term leads to a higher rate, say 7%. And that works out to $3,008 per month. Almost no difference. Even if the rates were equal, you'd get a discount of just $368/month. A 10% discount for another 20 years of debt!
The worst part is that all of the money you're paying in those first 30 years would barely get you any equity – it's mostly interest. With a 50-year mortgage, you'll spend hundreds of thousands more in interest, and you'll spend most of your adult life renting from a bank, without owning a home outright.

Obama made you buy health insurance; Biden temporarily subsidized premiums, with $24B yearly to insurers. Subsidies expire in 2025, hiking costs 200-300%, a deliberate bribe. Trump didn’t create this, Obama did. And Biden temporarily expand the subsidies in 2021, not to help you, it’s to buy votes in 2022 and 2024, now the election is over, your bill goes up, but their donors still getting paid. It's a cash pipeline to donors like UnitedHealthcare, Pfizer and Blue Cross; politicians gridlock elsewhere but not here. You're the hostage, they win, you lose.
🚨🚨 THIS WILL BLOW YOU AWAY.
The Democrats have filed a lawsuit against the USDA for trying to find out how many illegal aliens are receiving welfare benefits.
D.O.G.E.:
“This literally blew us away. We went there to find fraud, and we found this by accident.
We were like, what is this? In 2021, you see 270,000 people — it goes all the way up to 2.1 million in 2024. These are illegal aliens who are getting Social Security numbers.
The defaults in the system — from Social Security to all of the benefit programs — have been set to max inclusion, MAX PAY for these people, and minimum collection.
We found 1.3 million of them already on Medicaid, as an example. In every benefit program we reviewed, we found individuals from this particular group — about 5.5 million people — receiving benefits.
So we took a sample and looked at voter registration records, and we found people from this population registered to vote.
Yes — who did vote. We found they actually did vote.
I just want you to know this: the truly disturbing thing to me — the darkest thing about all this — is that the voter fraud is terrible.”
In other words: you’ve been Deceived. Robbed. Extorted. Blackmailed — and Betrayed.
American doctor goes over how Barack Obama destroyed American Healthcare
Before Obamacare in 2010
- A family of 4 had $13,000 per year in premiums with a $3,000 deductible
Now in 2025
- A family of 4 had $35,000 per year in premiums with a $6,000 deductible
“Obamacare has now been around for 15 years and the promise was that it was gonna save us dramatically on our healthcare spending and make us healthier.
- And if you look at 2010 for a family of four, their premiums were about $13,000 and they had about $3,000 to $4,000 in deductibles
- Now you go to 2025, that has jumped to $35,000 about a $5,000 to $6,000 deductible.
What's happening now is we have what's called functionally uninsured patients. That means they have insurance, they think that they're okay, then they get sick, they go to the ER, they present their magic insurance card, and they find out they have a $5,000 deductible.
That means they have to pay $5,000 before the first dollar of coverage. Now, the ER for sure is going to eat up that $5,000 deductible. What that means is patients now have ongoing medical debt.
So has Obamacare saved us money? No, unfortunately not.
What it has done is made the system very, very complex. You've had the growth of very small to moderate insurance companies to huge insurance companies. There's now 7 insurance companies that are in the Fortune 500 right now.”
@elonmusk Yes, I would argue that Trump is in fact a democrat. The extreme left has just gone so far into the weeds it’s shifted everything. If that Clinton were to run today he would be considered a repeublucan.
