It is true that tariffs are a tax on consumers! It is also true that previous efforts by American Presidents to impose tariffs have had disastrous effects on the United States' economy. Why should we think Trump's tariffs will be any different? -------------------------------- SHOW NOTES Support the podcast by shopping at the Truth Quest Shirt Factory. www.TruthQuestShirtFactory.com With each shirt design there will be an explanation of what to expect from those inquisitive or brave enough to ask you about it.

In my book, Pritical Thinking, I wrote that Social Security was doomed from the start. It is nothing more than a government-sanctioned, intergenerational Ponzi Scheme! It is unconstitutional and should be abolished. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was not truthful with the American people when he was pushing the legislation that eventually passed. Social Security will be insolvent by 2034. There are other alternatives currently implemented by dozens of countries around the world. Why doesn't the United States adopt one of them?

It is time for us to call the national debt what it is. . . IMMORAL!!! For over a century, it has only gone up! It is a bi-partisan problem. It is the height of irresponsibility; it is willfully and criminally negligent! How else would you describe purposely sentencing current and future generations to economic bondage through rising prices, deflated currency, higher taxes and lower growth? Going forward, we must frame the national debt conversation in terms of morality! Our congressional representatives must be called out for voting for any legislation that increases spending even by one dollar. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! -------------------------------- SHOW NOTES Support the podcast by shopping at the Truth Quest Shirt Factory. www.TruthQuestShirtFactory.com With each shirt design there will be an explanation of what to expect from those inquisitive or brave enough to ask you about it.

The national debt is a moral issue and should be framed as such! It is a bipartisan abomination! It is willful (bordering on criminal) negligence. -------------------------------- SHOW NOTES Support the podcast by shopping at the Truth Quest Shirt Factory. www.TruthQuestShirtFactory.com With each shirt design there will be an explanation of what to expect from those inquisitive or brave enough to ask you about it.

For lack of a better term, the American financial system is a shit show. The debt, the money supply, the inflation, the federal spending are all out of control. I have argued in other episodes that the country is so far gone that the only hope to save America from itself is state secession. Is there an alternative? In this episode, we examine what it might take to save the American financial system. It ain't pretty!

In this episode, we examine a Fed-less society - one without the Federal Reserve. In a sane, Fed-less world, we would NOT have the monopolistic market manipulation of interest rates. We would NOT have perpetual quantitative easing, the monetization of the debt and the inflationary willy-nilly digital printing of dollars. We would NOT have the endless booms and busts and there would be no bailouts! Share this episode with family and friends who do not understand the destructive force the federal government is generally and the Federal Reserve specifically. ----------------------------------------- Grab your Truth Quest Merchandise at The Truth Quest Shirt Factory: www.TruthQuestShirtFactory.com With each shirt design there will be an explanation of what to expect from those inquisitive or brave enough to ask you about it.

Last week, the United States witnessed its first bank failures since the financial crisis of 2008. As usual, the national Democrats, the alphabet soup, conspiracy media and federal banking officials are lying to the American people about the cause and severity of the crisis. In this episode, we tell you what they are hiding.

We are going to tackle the minimum wage issue with facts, figures, economic laws, and logic rather than, what we usually get - emotional calls for the wage rate increase using illogical arguments that are in direct opposition to economic law. I want to start with a quote by Thomas Sowell from his epic book, Basic Economics that really lays the foundation for this discussion. On page 237 he said: “By the simplest and most basic economics, a price artificially raised tends to cause more to be supplied and less to be demanded than when prices are left to be determined by supply and demand in a free market. The result is a surplus, whether the price that is set artificially high is that of farm produce or labor.”

We are told that protective tariffs are necessary to save jobs. We are told that high-wage countries like the United States cannot compete with low-wage countries like Vietnam and China. We are told that the dumping of products needs to be addressed with protective tariffs. But we are never told the whole truth. Politicians and mainstream news outlets never really evaluate the whole picture when it comes to tariffs. They never explain who really pays. They never ask the question: What about the consumer? Listen to learn the truth about tariffs?
