Genuine economic growth can only occur with a return to production. You cannot consume your way to prosperity.

A 'return to production' in the US can only occur in the aftermath of major infrastructure overhauls. Many of us still remember Texas' winter power collapse, several years back.

Trying to build a mansion on the sinking sand of our current overwhelmed & obsolete infrastructure is a fool's errand.

Greg, I agree wholeheartedly. Thank you for posting the truth. The current administration wants to destroy our current system to usher in a new AI Beast system to track all of humanity. They were just in the Middle East to set up the AI Beast.

Indeed, an excellent analysis: charting historical trends.

My only counterpoint to "the strong dollar" assertion is 'When we're Trillions in debt, how is a "strong dollar" even possible?'

The dollar needs to be backed by gold. Get rid of the Federal Reserve!

…well, that’s why getting rid of the Fed will always be a pipe dream. Whoever thinks they can destroy in 1-4 years what has been built for centuries is not quite there mentally.

It’s only been there since 1933 not centuries. “Not quite mentally there” insult wasn’t necessary.

I don’t think the National debt was ever meant to be repaid. The only way out is to crash the system and start over. In the interim , I think they’re trying very hard to ensure people keep paying their credit card debt. I feel like credit card debt is what will crash the banks fastest. We will see!!

The NY Banks will fail from the stress of the combined impact of the commercial real estate collapse amd the tens of billions (and more) of worthless Derivatives they've listed on the Asset side of their Balance Sheets for years.

That reckoning can't be far off. Every month, the hole gets deeper.

Perhaps most all of our Top 20 US Banks are, in reality, Zombie Corps, also. The Man, Greg Mannarino, can shed a while lot more insight on that precarious scenario.

YES!! Vacant commercial space EVERYWHERE!!! Elephants in every living room and Zombies abound. Only a matter of time. Check the MSM headlines for a good laugh if you want to see what Corporate America thinks we should be focused on today. 🙄 I’m in AZ people here are worried about Zions Bankcorp, their commercial holdings here are massive (aka National Bank of Az). I guess the Morman church can bail them out?

Right on point with calling them high priests of babylon. I’m fascinated by how succinctly you tie scriptural truths into everyday reality, such as finance, skillfully delineating for the common man to be enlightened by, even if never studied themselves.

You’re a wise man, Greg!

high interest rates rewards savers - the economy that has been built since the 80s is one of consumption and waste and preying on the ignorant. We have a variety of cartels operating in our government - the medical industrial cartel, the war cartel, the financial cartel - none of these cartels want a public that is informed or saving. An indentured person must work. And a slave is controllable.

I never heard a politician once encourage citizens to save money. The last 25 years of artificial low interest rates have crushed the responsible saver. You forgot the most dangerous cartel of them all, the climate cult cartel.

We are in the 4th turning. Higher rates won't help either. All those time frames you mentioned were not 4th turnings. Different time and place.

yes, the middle class grows when businesses are controlled and told to pay a REAL wage. High incomes are taxed to stimulate INVESTMENT IN AMERICA. THEY gave it all away from 1980-now. The PEOPLE got the shaft. NOW what are the PEOPLE going to do. NOTHING because they are all programmed sheep.

A wicked but not-so-brilliant manipulation. First, lower interest rates too much and jack up the economy during CONVID. Then as inflation soars, first lie about it and then hike tariffs and try to convince the masses this is good for everyone, but inflation may rise because of the oh-so-advantageous tariff hikes. Finally, when the middle class is tapped out and can neither afford groceries OR their credit card bill, scream for relief from the Fed via lower interest rates. DEVILISM.

Unfortunately the USD will end up at almost nothing before a long painful return to gold backing. The world is turning to gold and silver. The US is being conned into crypto. Become your own central bank.

The 50's. I wonder what America was like in the 50's. I mean besides high interest rates.

Hmmm. Boomer...Booooomer....

What was manufacturing like in America in the 50's? What was manufacturing like in Europe in the 50's?

America invented, made products, designed manufacturing facilities, exported, franchised practically everything.

And Europe and Asia were both destroyed, too... Being the only source of manufactured goods in the world would make for good economic growth.

Why don't we start a letter writing campaign to the white house to get rid of the fed and go back to a gold standard? If we inundated the president with our request we might slow down the cbdc reset or even change Trump s mind to weaken the dollar on his watch. I already sent him my two cents. It's quite easy to do on the white house website. Just a thought.

Europe and Japan were recovering from the devastation caused by World War II. Our manufacturing had no competition. That historical situation ended around 1970. Since then corporations moved to areas with cheaper labor and safety costs. Your analysis is correct as far as it goes, but our economy will not regain high productivity until the government invests in the health, education and vocational skills of the working class.

Yes, but Trump wants to turn America back into a country that actually produces products that the world can buy. Having a lower dollar will make those goods more affordable. Fact > Canadians that wish to buy USA products pay roughly 40% more because the of the $USD exchange against the $CDN dollar. I personally do not buy much from the USA because of this and travelling in the USA is pretty much a big NO currently. Too expensive!

Trump has been in office for what a 110 days? It will take some time to transition but a MUCH LOWER DOLLAR is a must for this to work.
