With the benefit of work and school being just a few feet away from our beds, we are all looking to improve our homes. And for those that are currently renting an apartment in the high-density, urban environments, a move in the direction of suburban-living is looking more and more promising.

Today’s Flashback Friday episode was originally released: March 4, 2008

On this show we'll hear from Paul Harvey, Jim Rogers, Ron Paul, and truth-challenged Ben Bernanke about commodities investing and the virtues of trading fake dollars for real assets.

Key Takeaways:

[1:30] American real estate is one of the best deals going, especially given this perfect storm that has developed over the past two years or so with the subprime mortgage meltdown, the rising commodity prices, and the ridiculous increase in inflation here in the U.S. and also globally.

[5:45] Pessimism about the American Dollar.

[8:30] “Let them debase the American dollar. Overall, it is not great news, but as we play the game properly, we are outsmarting the Federal Reserve and the way the government is spending so ridiculously, irresponsibly because our investments increase in value with these inflationary pressures.”

[18:30] The dollar is at all-time lows now, but this is 2007, so that means in at least 100 years, the dollar’s now making new lows, which is a shame because we were the world’s reserve currency, we were the richest, most powerful country in the world, and it’s not going to be good. It’s driving commodity prices up; it’s driving up interest rates, as you know. Long-term interest rates have not come down despite all this, and what happened is as commodities go higher, inflation goes higher, imported goods go higher, inflation will get worse and ultimately, long-term interest rates will go higher, too.  

[24:00] It’s great for everybody to own their own home. I’m all for it, too, but I’m also in favor

[25:30] How in the world can we expect to solve the problems of inflation, that is, the increase in the supply of money, with more inflation?

[28:00] Inflation is everywhere and the devaluation of the dollar is hurting the elderly the most because they tend to be the savers. They did the right thing all their life. They were told save money, save for retirement, yet they have been burned through the policies of the Federal Reserve.

[33:00] Hedonics is where they say that the product you’re buying, that the consumer is buying, produces an equal or greater amount of pleasure if you will than the older products. So the newer product is better because of progress and technology, as it should be. And that newer products should be adjusted for inflation through the hedonics index.

[42:00] don’t wait to buy real estate. Buy real estate and then wait. And you know what? But you’ve gotta buy a special kind of real estate, financed a special way, in the right markets, at the right time, based on our methodology.

There is no possible outcome where come Monday morning, things go back to normal.

As the economy appears to struggle from Covid-19, the price of homes seem to be moving up. Jason Hartman discusses the unexpected price changes in the U.S. due to the shrinking market availability. 

Ellen Brown is today’s guest here to discuss Universal Basic Income, UBI. As well, she shares some interesting details about what happens to the money when a debt is paid. How did China increase its money supply by such a large percentage in two decades? 

Key Takeaways:

[4:00] Why are home prices going up as the economy appears to be falling apart?

[7:00] From March 2019 to March 2020, homes available on the U.S. market have gone down by 10%.

Guest: Ellen Brown, author of over a dozen books including, The Public Bank Solution, From Austerity to Prosperity

[12:30] What is a postal account? 

[20:45] What is the end game of money spending?

[22:10] Money is lent into existence. Banks create the principal but they don’t create the interest, so debt always grows faster than the money supply.

[25:00] The real economy is always short of money because there’s a hole in the bucket that always drains into the financial economy.

[26:00] What is the financialized economy? 

[30:20] Debt grows until it gets so high that people can’t borrow anymore, so they pay down their debts instead of taking out new debts. That shrinks the money supply. That goes into deflation which goes into depression. 

[32:30] Money evaporates when it pays off the debt.

[36:30] All of our money is credit. China increased its money supply by 1800% in twenty years, and they did not run into hyperinflation. Find out more.
