The Fed Just Changed How They Measure Inflation — Right Before The Election. Not A Coincidence

The US national debt, currently exceeding $39 trillion, forces a shift in economic strategy where the government aims to inflate away its obligations rather than defaulting or cutting spending. This "wealth pump" relies on the Federal Reserve, led by Kevin Warsh, to manipulate inflation metrics—specifically through a trimmed mean method—to justify lower interest rates while maintaining a veneer of independence. Simultaneously, the administration leverages regulatory changes to compel banks and stablecoin issuers to absorb government debt, effectively creating invisible money printing. By keeping interest rates below inflation, the government systematically erodes the purchasing power of dollar holders to pay down debt. Investors must navigate this environment by shifting from cash to assets like stocks, gold, and crypto, as the wealth siphon disproportionately benefits those who own productive assets while penalizing those holding currency.
