America

Here's the problem with central banks seeking higher inflation: costs go up but wages don't.

It's easy to quantify the annual cost of Social Security/Medicare, and not so easy to calculate the cost of Cartel Cronyism and Central Bank-created inflation. Cartel cronyism is a hidden tax on the entire economy, as is Central Bank-created inflation.

There is a simple reason why the vast majority of American workers, some 82% of them, are not feeling any wage growth: there simply isn't any.

CNBC Political reporter, friend of Hillary, and Democratic Party sycophant John Harwood took to Twitter last night to ask:

"Who do you believe America? Wikileaks, or US Intel Officials?"

The response is yet another slap in the face for the establishment's perspective on how the world should really run...

And that Mr. Harwood is why Donald Trump is about to become President! When will you and your ilk wake up to this?

Back in November we noted that the Internet Archive (Wayback Machine) had announced plans to move their servers to Canada out of fear of censorship under the new Trump administration, saying "on November 9th in America, we woke up to a new administration promising radical change."  The decision struck us as somewhat odd at the time given the website's seemingly innocuous content.

We’re living in the calm before the storm.

That much everyone can sense.  The stock market highs and holiday spending spree will soon be over, the inauguration will presumably go as planned, but that’s when everything could start to go off course.
