This year, inflation is set to cost the average American household an additional $11,500 just to maintain their standard of living, but that’s not all there is to it. Inflation is systemically destructive and as Dr. Thomas Hogan, Senior Research Faculty member for the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) points out, “one of the biggest reasons for runaway inflation is the false premise that it’s actually good for the economy.” “Inflation, indeed, throws a veil of illusion over every economic process. It confuses and deceives almost everyone, including even those who suffer by it.”
– Henry Hazlitt, American Economics Author and Journalist “Hazlitt was right,” says Hogan. “Inflation obscures the economic process — and it’s definitely not necessary for growth.” In addition to weakening American spending power, “inflation can also have the negative side effect of slowing GDP growth. That’s no small matter.”So with such far-reaching effects, what can the everyday American consumer do to mitigate the damage caused by current failed Democratic economic policies? In the latest issue of AIER’s Inflation Nation newsletter, Hogan lays out five hidden costs of inflation that “the Fed” — and Joe Biden & Co. — don’t want Americans to notice: 1) Higher Search Costs | This is when you have to spend more time looking for something. Like if you drive around looking for the best gas prices or go across town because there’s one store that hasn’t raised the price of TVs. Mitigation: Utilize the internet to do all or most of the legwork when comparison shopping. Gone are the days of […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
