Join us today as we discuss five of the biggest challenges facing the US economy and what you can actually do about them. From national debt to broken supply chains to the housing mess, we’ll look at where the system is failing and how the so-called solutions usually miss the mark.

More importantly, we’ll break down steps you can take to sidestep the fallout and build something stronger for yourself and your family. If you’re tired of waiting on the government to fix what it keeps screwing up, this one’s for you.

Join Me Today as we Discuss…

Why these five challenges matter right now
- They’re peaking at the same time, not one by one
- Each weakens the average person’s financial position
- Government responses keep making things worse
National Debt and Deficit Spending
- Problems – Federal: Exploding debt and interest
- Problems – State/Local: Fragile budgets, pensions, bonds
- Institutional Solutions: Balanced budgets and infrastructure focus
- Individual Solutions: Own assets, ditch debt, use Bitcoin
Inflation and Monetary Instability
- Problems – Federal: Money printing devalues savings
- Problems – State/Local: Local costs rise, wage laws fuel inflation
- Institutional Solutions: Local sourcing, real inflation metrics, savings reform
- Individual Solutions: Exit fiat, grow food, track real costs
Deindustrialization and Supply Chain Weakness
- Problems – Federal: Offshoring, no strategy for key industries
- Problems – State/Local: Zoning and taxes block production
- Institutional Solutions: Incentives for reshoring and logistics investment
- Individual Solutions: Support local makers, buy tools, produce
Labor Market Imbalances
- Problems – Federal: Skills mismatch and low participation
- Problems – State/Local: Training gaps and license barriers
- Institutional Solutions: Apprenticeships, licensing reform, local alignment
- Individual Solutions: Learn trades, freelance, sell skills now
Housing Affordability Crisis
- Problems – Federal: Subsidized demand, inflated standards
- Problems – State/Local: Zoning, permits, anti-growth sentiment
- Institutional Solutions: Zoning reform, fast permits, state preemption
- Individual Solutions: Tiny homes, land hacks, Bitcoin hedge
What it all means for you going forward
- You can’t wait for top-down fixes
- Local and personal action beats national promises
- Building resilience now is the only real hedge
