And then people start looking around and going like, geez, why is the price of housing and health care and energy and child care totally unaffordable?

And the answer is because you're paying for the war in Iraq.

And nobody thinks about it like that.

But that's really what's going on.

They can't.

So for all the young people who are coming out of college now and they're like, I'm 150 grand in debt.

I have a gender studies major degree or whatever, you know, maybe something better than that.

But they got an English degree or something and they're working at DoorDash and the average house is going for 600 grand.

And they're like, what am I possibly going to do?

It's like the reason why these kids are all demanding socialism is.

at least on the left, is because, like, what else are you going to do?

But the reason why that is the case is because your government decided to spend trillions of dollars on blowing up brown countries and in some cases then rebuilding them to blow them up again.

I mean, this is the actual cost of the thing.

And I feel like it's...

almost nobody outside of like the Ron Paul libertarians, the Austrian economics guys, almost nobody else ever makes this connection.

That it's like, this is the deal.

You can't be a world empire without having a central bank.

that can print money for you because otherwise it just doesn't work resources are finite and you'll run out of them and so you can't do that without having this monetary system but the cost of this monetary system is that prices always go up and up and up and up and that rigs the entire economy against the working class and the middle class in favor of the rich it's just the way it is when when the value of assets is going up and up and up and up that's great if you own stuff

That's great if you own stuff and you're selling it.

If you got a billion dollars in the bank, inflation is your best friend.
