9.163 trillion in Federal Reserve bailouts to keep the U.S. solvent
7.922 of the 9.163 trillion of bailouts funded with Fed created money
1.241 of the 9.163 trillion in bailouts funded by forfeited Fed operating profits
148.084 trillion in unfunded liabilities
2 debt downgrades with at least one more on deck
Artificially low interest rates that have stripped savers of trillions

And inflation magically disappears and real rates of return go below zero?

8.70% average Treasury rate, 1970 – 2007, 3.99% more than reported inflation
2.67% Average Treasury rate since 2008, 0.94% more than reported inflation
2.01% average treasury rate in 2021 2.19% less than inflation

Data Spreadsheet & Sources

Reported inflation is fictional or everything wouldn’t be out pacing reported inflation.

Average reported Inflation 4.03%
Per capita annual growth in Federal revenue 4.99%
Per capita average annual growth in Federal spending 6.82%
Per employed person average annual growth in Federal revenue 4.53%
Per employed person annual growth in Federal spending 6.51%
Per employed person revenue in 2020 $24,196
Per employed person Federal spending in 2020 $53,647

$53,647 in Federal spending per employed person in 2020 was equivalent to 89.95% of Average U.S. Personal Income in 2020 of $59,642.

Data Spreadsheet & Sources

To appreciate how absurd BLS  reported inflation has become compare the actual fiscal cost of the New Deal and and World War 2 to what the BLS tells us they would cost today.

New Deal

Total cost of the New Deal from 1933 to 1936 dollars was 41.70 billion , according this BLS inflation calculator this translates into 836.77 billion in 2021 dollars or 10.96% of what the Federal government spent 2020, 

BLS inflation calculation magic also tells us the total cost of of Roosevelt’s new deal in 2021 dollars is equivalent to 4.67% of the increase in Federal Debt from 2008 through 2020, that this 17.930 trillion could had fully funded the New Deal 21 times over.

During the New Deal from 1933-1939 Federal debt per capita increased by $129.00 from $179.14 dollars to $308. The BLS translates this to an increase of $2,588.48 in 2021 dollars, from $3,595 to $6,183.

In the last 16 months Federal per capita debt increased by $16,831

What the New Deal did & funded.

• • Jobs for a total of  8.5 million Americans, 6.39% of the population.
  • The majority of the jobs trained unskilled men to learn a new profession as they carried out public works infrastructure projects.
  • Built or modernized more than 55,000 civilian and military buildings
  • Built 32 navel vessels, many played key roles during World War 2.
  • 4,026 new schools, the majority are still open today
  • 130 new hospitals, including Fitzsimons , Allegheny General & Jersey City Medical Center.
  • More than 29,000 new bridges and tunnels including the Lincoln Tunnel, Throgs Neck and Golden Gate bridges.
  • Scores of Dams including Hover and Shasta, the majority still produce Hydro Electric Power today.
  • Built or modernized over 180,000 miles of Highway, including the Los Angeles Freeway and Overseas Highway.
  • Built or modernized more than 150 airports including La Guardia and Midway.
  • Built or modernized nearly 9,000 miles of storm drains and sewer lines.

New Deal Programs provided more than Infrastructure

• • The laborers of the New Deal programs worked in schools serving more than 900 million hot lunches to hungry children during the depression.
  • Operated 1,500 nurseries enabling childcare so parents could work.
  • Funded over 225,000 concerts and thousands of plays.
  • The New Deal cultural programs produced more than half a million works of art including  Jackson Pollock’s 17A which sold for 200 million in 2016.
  • The New Deal Writers’ Program featured pieces from soon-to-be famous Authors like John Steinbeck, Steinbeck went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1940 for his novel The Grapes of Wrath.

Compare Roosevelt’s New Deal did for the United States from 1933 to 1939 versus what politicians (on both sides) have done with the trillions they’ve already spent. Where are the new hydro electric dams, new schools, hospitals, roads, bridges, tunnels, high speed trains, training and jobs for the unemployed, detox programs and homes for the homeless?

Fiscal Cost of World War 2 to what the BLS tells us it would cost today.

61 countries participated in World War 2 to protect the world from Hitler’s Socialist agenda, Mussolini’s Fascist and Hirohito’s aristocratic oligarchy.

The U.S.’s participation from 1941 to 1945 had a total fiscal cost of 291.18 billion dollars.The BLS.GOV tells us 291.18 billion in 1942 translates into 4,912.54 billion today or 64.37% of what the Federal Government spent in 2020.

From 1941 through 1945 Federal debt per capita went up by $1,455.72, from $383.61 to $1,839.33, BLS translates this into 2021 dollars to up $24,876.56 from $6,555.45 to $31,432.01.

Since 2017 U.S. Federal debt per capita has increased by $25,389.99.

BLS tells us the combined fiscal cost of the New deal and World War 2 would be 5.749 trillion in 2021 dollars equivalent to 75.34% of what the Federal Government spent last year.

Why would the U.S. misrepresent inflation?

Record deficit spending and the creation of money to finance it has reduced annual Federal revenue a to a mere 11.16% of total Federal Debt.

Data Spreadsheet & Sources

This 11.16% ratio makes it impossible for the U.S. to accurately report inflation, normalize interest rates or any Federal expense whose increase is pegged to reported inflation such as Social Security, Medicare, Military or Civilian employee pensions and public assistance programs like welfare which the Federal Governments funds and the States administer.

By 1990 Investment banks like Bear Stearns, American International Group, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and Bank of America were discovering the profitability of Mortgage Backed Securities by 200 they were raising trillions and funneling it to lenders, as the market became saturated borrowing qualifications disappeared, by 2007 nearly anyone with a pulse could qualify for up to a $650,000 mortgage.

Total mortgage debt in the United States went from 3.790 trillion in 1990 to 6.767 trillion in 2000, by 2007 14,964 trillion, up 10.904 trillion +287.69%.

Dollar devaluation this is what’s pushed assets and personal income higher, it certainly hasn’t been the glowing economic fundamentals or fiscal restraint of the 21st century.

The dollar’s decline hasn’t been against currencies of other countries just as addicted to spending and debt as the U.S. but quality stocks, precious metals, real estate and nearly every tangible asset.

Keep it organized and to the point don’t be repetitive

Dollar devaluation is pushing the market higher not the glowing economic fundamentals or fiscal restraint of the 21st century.

Dollar devaluation hasn’t been against the currencies of other countries just as addicted to spending and debt as the U.S. but quality stocks, precious metals, real estate and nearly every tangible asset.

The dollar’s decline is being fueled by Absurd Federal Spending and Federal Reserve’s creation of money. Initial justification for the creation for creation of money resulting in debt monetization was the financial crisis starting  in 2008. From 2008 through 2019 the Federal Reserve created

2008 – 2019

55.319 trillion dollars in Federal Spending
17.930 trillion in New Federal Debt

Data Spreadsheet & Sources

17.930 trillion in new Federal debt is greater than the total debt of the United Kingdom, Ireland, Greece, Norway, Russia, Australia, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Canada, Mexico, Argentina and Nigeria combined. Combined population of these countries 2.198 billion.

Data Spreadsheet & Sources

4.166 trillion total Money created by the Federal Reserve
1.650 of the 4.165 trillion went to buy bad debt in the private sector.
2.516 of the 4.165 trillion to buy U,S. Treasury debt the free market wouldn’t.

Data Spreadsheet & Sources

The Fed’s money creation timeline emphasizes how the Treasury’s dependence on the Federal Reserve bailouts has escalated. 

771 billion 1913 – 2007 was created by the Fed for Bank & Treasury  bailouts.

3.441 trillion 2008 – 2019

Where record deficit spending has left the United States.

In 2020 annual Federal revenue is now a mere 11.16% of total Federal debt down from 50.62% of total Federal debt in 1970

Data Spreadsheet & Sources

The 11.16% annual Federal revenue to total Federal debt ratio makes it impossible for the U.S. to accurately report inflation, normalize interest rates or any Federal expense whose increase is pegged to reported inflation such as Social Security, Medicare, Military or Civilian employee pensions. If interest rates normalized in 2021 to the  1970 – 2007 average of 8.70%, 68% of total Federal Revenue would be consumed by Federal debt service costs.

How did this ratio get so ugly when GDP, income, assets and Federal revenue all outpaced reported inflation from 1970 through 2021?

Gold

Perception

With growth in GDP, Personal Income, assets and Federal Revenue all outpacing reported in Inflation and a higher percentage of the population working now than 42 out of the last 52 years you’d expect the quality of life in the United States to be at or near an all time high, the Federal Government should be running budget surpluses, retiring debt and working on restoring their AAA credit rating.

The reality of what these strong numbers produced

A record 26.5 trillion in new Federal debt

9.163 trillion in Federal Reserve bailouts to keep the U.S. solvent
1.241 of the 9.153 trillion of it forfeited Federal Reserve operating profits
7.922 trillion of Fed created money from and backed by nothing
148.084 trillion in unfunded liabilities
2 debt downgrades with at least one more on deck

(During the last financial crisis the U.S lost it’s AAA debt rating for creating 3.441 trillion dollars for bank and Treasury bailouts then labeling it “quantitative easing” quantitative easing and debt monetization are basically the same thing, the creation of money from and backed by nothing to devalue a country’s currency)

Despite this 3.411 trillion in created money 12 years latter the U.S. found itself in yet another financial crisis that over the last 16 months has required 10.107 trillion in Federal spending and 5.655 trillion in new Federal debt.

10.107 trillion in Federal spending over the last 16 months is equivalent to the combined total government debt of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Russia and India, combined population of these countries 1.792 billion.

10.107 trillion in 16 months is 2.05 trillion more than China’s total reported debt of 8.057 trillion, population of China 1.422 billion.

Federal spending from 2008 through 2020 has exceeded 55.319 trillion dollars, new Federal debt 17.930 trillion.

Data Spreadsheet & Sources

Data Spreadsheet & Sources

Since 1913 the Federal Reserve has created a net total 7.992 trillion from and backed by nothing for Bank, Corporate and Treasury bailouts

2.792 trillion of the total 7.922 trillion went to buy bad bank debt, the majority of this bad debt was from the same banks that caused the 2008 financial crisis, the Fed still owns the majority of this junk debt today.

5.128 trillion to buy Treasury debt the free market wouldn’t

Fed’s money creation timeline 1913 – 2021

771 billion, 1913 – 2007 total created for bank and Treasury bailouts

3.441 trillion 2008 – 2019 for bank and Treasury bailouts

By January 2020 Federal debt had gotten so high,  Treasury ratings and yields so low, the U.S. has been unable to sell enough Treasury debt on the open market to to satiate their ever increasing spending addiction.

January 2020 though April 2021

10.107 trillion total Federal Spending
5.671  trillion new Federal debt
3.738 trillion money created by the Fed to buy debt the free market wouldn’t

10.107 trillion is equivalent to the total government debt of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Russia and India combined. Total population of these countries 1.792 billion people.

5.671 trillion in new Federal debt is 758 billion in 2021 dollars more than the entire fiscal cost of World War 2 between of 291.18 billion which according the BLS translates into 4.913 trillion in 2021.

3.738 trillion in the last 16 months is 69 billion more than the combined total debt of  Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Russia and Taiwan combined population of these countries 557.865 million.

Out of the 5.671 trillion in new Federal debt the free market would only by 1.933 trillion of it,  65.91% of the 3.738 trillion had to be funded with Fed created money or the U.S. would have been insolvent.
