It’s inflation. Silent, hidden, and relentless, inflation erodes your purchasing power year after year while politicians celebrate more spending and more debt.<br />In this episode, Chris breaks down why a dollar saved 30 years ago is worth barely half today, how constant borrowing and money printing quietly confiscates your wealth, and why the claim that “the deficit is down” means nothing when the national debt keeps exploding.<br />This is why cash loses value, prices double over time, and why sitting still financially is a guaranteed losing strategy. Inflation isn’t an accident—it’s a stealth tax that most people never see coming. Understanding it is the first step to protecting yourself from it.
