    I used to work in finance, so even though I’ve know the economic history and the debt problems worldwide, I still very much enjoy Brent’s sharing. Brent has talked about so much in this 1-hour interview, which is amazing.
    “No-reverse gear” is a key takeaway today for me.
    Thank you, Brent and Sachs Realty.

      If you really needed someone to say "no reverse gear" while "knowing the economic history and the debt problems worldwide" then no bud....you don't understand anything about the economy as it's economics 101 on debt based economy....you simply have to keep growing debt AND paying it off with interest to keep the financial momentum "velocity" of an economy.....when debts are defaulted on then of course no economy can keep thriving when the interest due on the loans PLUS the loan amount itself isn't paid to the one that loaned the money.....and there's no "reverse gear" that "undoes" that reality...so duh dude......

      @@Noworries-PU7ye I think a lot of people are grossly underestimating the economic disaster in China. Countries like Germany, Singapore, South Korea etc. that are heavily trade dependent on China are already or in the process of going into a recession. Too many big U.S. asset managers like Blackrock, Blackstone, Goldman Sacs, etc. are too invested into China for the U.S. not to be impacted. Like Brent said, the U.S. economy will probably make out better than most of the other countries but we won't come out unscathed.

It should be a requirement that Congress forces the Administration to cut budgets, and establishes an effective but fair system for collection of adequate revenue for the Treasury, in order to fund the government.

      I think the truth is usually somewhere in the middle. CEO pay vs. the regular worker pay is far too far apart. I've worked with many executives, and many aren't innovative, just in a position of control to keep things as is in a growing economy. When credit contracts, they'll be truly tested. On the opposite side, many people don't work hard.
      If Mexico, India, etc, choose to sell their products in their own currency, they'll be rewarded, as demand for their currency will increase. It's because the US struck deals to have foreign transactions done in dollars, that these foreign nations accumulate dollars. Saving in dollars requires that they buy US debt, financing our spending, assuming the risk of default, whether that be by inflation or formal default.

    My 5.00 Milkshake Theory, A milkshake averages 4.97 now days. A movie called Pulp Fiction back in 1995 had a scene that expressed the absurdity of a 5.00 milkshake, even at a fancy 50's themed restaurant. Well, seems we have reached the absurd level.

      The Pulp Fiction movie was set in California, even in the 90s, the living expenses were much hire there.
      I interviewed for a job out in Irvine back in 97, at first I thought it sounded great because the were going to pay me quite a bit more than I was making at the time.
      When I started looking into renting a place out there (and the cost of living), I found that I would be in the same boat that I was in back east.

    Very insightful the information on how the system works and affects the USA differently than other countries as far as our hidden drain was eye-opening. This does help a person stay more centered and realize we have significant challenges, but it is a world problem, and not just a USA problem. The whole conversation really helped me to understand the bigger picture about money supply and how it affects all economies. Thank you Mike D.

    Question: "The France kept asking for gold." Does this has anything to do with huge government spending because of the Vietnam War, therefore some international investors got worried and started asking for gold in exchange for dollars?
    How expensive would be some of the ordinary things when made in USA, for example some average bicycle?

      After the war, US volunteered to guarding Europe nations wealth, so US took those countries gold and stored it in Ft. Knox. But years later the nations started asking for their gold back. France initially requested their gold returned in 1958. France finally in 1971 sent a ship to NY and demanded their gold back.

    Best open discussion I have heard in the last 90 day.

  • @dhttube
    @dhttube 11 місяців тому +10

    Everything can be learned from:
    1) The Money Masters
    2) The Creature from Jekyll Island
    3) American Exception
    4) Super Imperialism - The Economic Strategy of American Empire
    5) Confessions of an Economic Hitman
    To sum things up:
    1) After WW2, the banks were heavily invested in Aerospace and defense firms and if there’s no boogeyman / enemy, these banks would lose a lot of money if military companies were to go out of business. So they whipped up the frenzy that the USSR could invade Western Europe so they formed NATO to keep the military industrial complex machine / defense contractors humming along during peace time (and called the Department of War and rebranded it as Department of Defense). This shows how much the MIC is part of the US economy and how the war economy was simply rebranded as the Cold War during peace time.
    2) The elite banking class created the World Bank / IMF so that the US could take control / global domination of the financial system (you control the world’s monetary system, you control the world). Due to the Bretton Wood agreement where the US dollar is now the world’s reserve currency (because the US now has 65-70% of the world’s gold and 50% of global GDP).
    3) World Bank / IMF chief purpose was to enslave the rest of the world (mainly the global south / 3rd world countries in perpetual debt and servitude)
    4) With the proxy cold war to contain communism in Korea / Vietnam during the 1950-1970s, the US suddenly went from the number one creditor country to the number one debtor country. Because the US simply printed paper money to pay for the wars. These money printed by the privately owned bank cartel called the Federal Reserve are simply debt financing to the US government to spend on wars
    5) These US dollars being spent overseas, especially in Vietnam, ending in Vietnam’s central banks which was a colony of France at the time so those dollars got transferred back to France, in which Charles de Gaulle sent them back to the US to exchange them for Gold
    6) With so much US dollar floating throughout the world and countries starting to send those US dollars back to the US for GOLD, Nixon had to end the GOLD exchange to preserve US holdings of GOLD in 1971
    7) Since countries can no longer exchange US dollar for GOLD, these countries had to hold onto the US dollars and use it for trade, which devalues their own national currencies
    8) With confidence in the US dollar eroding, the US struck a deal with Saudi Arabia in 1973 to provide Saudi Arabia with military security but the Kingdom must sell oil in only US dollar and recycle surplus US dollar back to the US to purchase US treasuries and bonds. This deal created great demand for the greenback so now the greenback is free floating, not constrained by GOLD backing and US treasury and bond market (Wall Street) became the new GOLD standard
    9) Debt financing was how the US beat the USSR during Cold War 1.0.
    10) Also, with the Sino-Soviet split, the US saw an opportunity to help build up China, hoping to use China as a buffer to further weaken the USSR
    11) Plus, with much greater demand for the greenback, the US gets to print almost free money (it cost less than 20 cents to create a 100 dollar bill), and sell money / export money to the rest of the world. But what will the US get from the money? They have to buy stuff from other countries with that money, so manufacturing gets transferred to China as a way to use China as a buffer to contain the USSR and also to use an increase in US dollar demand to invest and buy stuff made in China (on the cheap) and ship them back to the US to be sold to US consumers, hence generating massive profits for US companies and Wall Street.
    12) The exodus of US dollar throughout the entire world is what gives US global hegemony. Trade surplus countries (like Germany, Japan, South Korea, China, Saudi Arabia, etc.) make so much US dollars they have to support the US dollar and recycle them back to the US to buy US treasuries and bonds. Trade deficit countries (like Argentina, Brazil, Turkey, Greece, India) starve for US dollar and must borrow US dollar to power their economies and net imports.
    13) So the US global empire has found the perfect formula no other empires in the past was able to do, have rich countries and rich foreigners and poor countries and poor foreigners finance the net imports of the US economy and US government. The US powers away on debt based system running massive trade deficits with most of the world.
    14) Military spending, domestically and externally, are mostly based on debt financing (meaning borrowed money)
    15) But China and Russia saw how flawed the system is (during the 2008 financial crisis) so the BRIC trading bloc had their first meeting in 2009 to figure out a way to de-dollarize and get out of the US dominated financial system. That’s when Obama made the pivot to Asia in an attempt to contain China and prevent this from happening.
    16) The new cold war 2.0 is all about preserving the US dominated financial system / preserving the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency.

    Brent Johnson: "I think we could have a loss of jobs with wage pressure not collapsing, because I think the government will probably let some things fail, but they will subsidize others" 53:32
    This is what effectively happened with the pandemic. Government determined which businesses were "essential" and which were not. Many small businesses didn't survive. They were shut down and never reopened.

    Great information from both of you! I agree that I’m not sure how this will all play out, but I’m pretty confident it will rank among the largest historical economic corrections. I’m trying to maintain diversification with enough cash to survive and possibly capitalize after the correction- much like I did prior to the economic correction of 2008. I certainly empathize with everyone on fixed incomes & fixed retirement incomes.

    There are 2 generations (millennials and zoomers) who currently have no hope of ever owning a home or having even close to a standard of living as those generations who came before. Sooner or later people are not going to accept this garbage system and the changes will be far more severe than anyone can imagine. Historically speaking when a population spends 40% of their income on food the change happens, but with housing being so expensive 40% might be too high. Regardless its going to be massive and everyone who is cheerleading this system is going to be first into the woodchipper

I would like to know if he has thought about what the Fed (and the Feds) *should* be doing now, as we are metaphorically staring down the barrel of a fiscal-monetary gun I mean cannon. Perhaps such theorizing would be just an academic exercise--I acknowledge that. But it seems to me a very interesting topic, to say the least, and might be useful in the debates arising when the s*** hits the fan.

    In fascism, the government doesn't own businesses, they are private, they just need to answer to the government at the end of the day. We live in a weird sort of reverse fascism, where corporations tell the governments what to do, and they aren't really beholden to the population. All these 70s movies, like Rollerball and Running Man, that portrayed a future corporatist nightmare aren't too far off the mark.
