18% INFLATION? The Fed Just Opened the Door
Summary
This episode analyzes the US Treasury’s proposal to expand the FEMA repo facility to prevent Japan from selling US Treasuries, aiming to suppress borrowing costs. The host compares this intervention to yield curve control, warning that such measures historically trigger high inflation and erode savings. With US debt levels far exceeding WWII-era peaks, the discussion highlights the risks of currency debasement and advises investors to protect wealth using physical gold and silver.
