Today's guest wrote the book "Inflated: How Money & Debt Built The American Dream"
In it, he wrote: "The first rule of any fiat system is no fiscal deficit"
Well, the US -- and virtually every other G7 country -- is breaking that rule six ways to Sunday given the unprecedented record levels of deficit spending currently underway.
Does that mean we're headed for trouble?
To find out, we'll ask the author himself, Chris Whalen, Chairman of Whalen Global Advisors LLC and expert on the banking, mortgage finance and fintech sectors.

My company just let go 2k (15% of staff) employees yesterday, and we're relatively insulated as a payroll/workforce management company. As much as they act like the economy is doing well it's clearly shrinking. And i think after the election you're really going to see the wheels finally come off as the narrative is no longer necessary.

Bidenomics to pump economy with gov money to keep GDP above zero resulting in inflation. Blame it on Russia. Gov sector is the only sector growing besides health care. It would be hard to wind down when Trump takes over.

You may not be as insulated as you believe. After all, as businesses fail, the need for payroll processing companies will decline, maybe not go away completely but definitely shrink. Automation will most likely eliminate payroll processing jobs completely with companies like ADP and others.

They're all like that. And if anyone tells you they never made a loss-making trade or took a loss-making position I will show you a liar. The point is to learn from it and to spread risk because everyone's an armchair expert with their theoretical 100% correct trades. The issue is how coherent, integrated, well informed and inclusive the experts are being and what the overall reliability is of their judgements. It's absurd to expect 100% correct calls and making that expectation marks you rather than them. It takes years of experience to understand this and there is no substitute for cultivating hard work and objectivity.

Adam... I had that class in 12th grade at John H Reagan HS in Austin, Texas in 1986. It was a class required for students that were working internships prior to college. Mr Schultes taught us financial literacy with brutal honesty. The Man ran the class like the most tyrannical boss you'll ever work under. He was an legend. The HS was in a rougher side of town. It's since been cancelled for its name, and likely the class has been replaced with a personal identity course.

@mrcigartruth3832 2 дня назад

There is a classic quote that says, paraphrasing: "If you are not totally confused about the system then you don't really understand it" I agree that these videos veer to a tone that suggests financial implosion is imminent. I tend to look at it in the prepare for the worst and hope for the best scenario, or something folks can navigate thru. I saw the panic in these buffoon's eyes running the system when it blew up in 2008. I agree with some that make the case that the system as we knew it was dismantled at that time.Everything up to now has been patching it and the real disaster has been buried amongst a cadre of criminals with the threat of bodily harm if the truth is exposed. When it happens it will be so fast that people will get whiplash from it. If you don't believe that theory then you must watch very carefully for what you could analyze as the start of a "controlled" demolition. Straight up, the numbers don't lie and the math don't work. I watch these videos because I believe many of these people are slick enough to have unraveled the basics. if they make a buck or two I have very little problem with it.

@whodidit99 2 дня назад

@alimaninny5343 2 дня назад

A number of factors come into play here: 1) a lot of people have a stake in financial markets, meaning they have a desire to understand and invest accordingly, so they click and subscribe: 2) financial markets are cyclical, recessions and crashes are bound to happen; 3) doomsday scenarios always find more interest than rosy or “things will go sideways for a while” type predictions, so there is an industry of apocalyptic predictions and you know what, one day the market will crash and they will all come out and say “just as we predicted.” In the meantime, do not take anyone seriously unless they get both the direction and timing right consistently and I am guessing that the ones who get both the direction and the timing right (if they even exist) are not making RU-vid videos. All I get from these videos is that I chose the wrong profession, I should have been a “macro analyst” and bullshit my way through life.

@saucyrossy3698 The reason that fire watchtowers are built is so that forest fires can be spotted above the tree canopy from a distance. Without those towers, you wouldn't know there's a fire until it's right on top of you. If it was your job to look for fires in order to protect your community from fire damage, do you announce the presence of a fire while it's still several miles away, or do you wait till it's close enough for everybody to smell it so that you know that they'll believe you? As members of the community, if you don't understand the purpose of the watch tower or the reason why someone is standing in it, you might not have any worries when the person in the tower starts to get excited about something. On the other hand, if you have knowledge of why the watchtower exists and the fact that wild fires are common in the environment then that knowledge helps you understand that when the person in the watch tower yells "fire!" It's time to take action to protect your property and fight the fire or flee if the fire's too big to deal with. Either way, you're prepared to deal with the worst-case scenario because of the KNOWLEDGE that you have. If you've read this far and don't understand the analogy of what you just read, then you're probably screwed.

Regarding politics, for women reproductive rights may be the number one concern, along with inflation. Corporations have been price gouging due to the stimulus package. Walmart is now lowering prices on certain items for to customers balking at the higher prices

How do you tax 20,000,000 illegals who don’t file taxes? How do you tax drug dealers and criminals? National sales tax my friend

@@jwong8755 Do you know what inflation is? The amount of services or goods you buy is fixed. The amount of money in circulation is variable. You print 1000s of tons of greenbacks with nothing backing it, chasing the same amount of goods and services, then it takes a lot more of those greenbacks to buy anything. President Trump took office in 2017. By the end of his term four years later, the debt increased $6.6 trillion. He has stated he will do tax cutes, mostly for billionaires like last time. 54% of Americans own zero shares of any stock. How much stock do you own? None, like me? Why then would you want a capital gains tax cut? He will say what every republican president from Reagan on has said. That money will trickle down!! Been 40 years since Reagan said that. And it has not nor will never trickle down.

shifting public deficits to surplus would inversely cause private and/or foreign sector deficits, which would be highly undesirable. Public deficits mean more money creation/inflation, expansion. Private deficits means economic contraction, deflation, depression. Foreign deficits are simply untenable for a global reserve currency.

Adam you really need a sound diffuser behind you instead of the broccoli and burls. I don't think it's an accident that smart guests have bookshelves behind them. It would be a minor acoustic tweak to perfect an already great channel!

Financial advisors like your guest have been saying the inflection point is imminent for years. Eventually one of therm will have guessed right and can brag about how he predicted it. I have done that myself and was right a few times but I don't tell my friends and family that it was anything but a lucky guess.
