Of course, CPI data release has been delayed thanks to the US Federal government shutdown (aka, the Schumer Shutdown). But never fear, the Federal government is continuing to spending like the proverbial drunken sailors in port. The Federal debt just breached the $38 trillion mark.

And the Federal budget deficit just breached the $7 trillion mark. Why? Too much Federal spending! The Federal government COULD raises taxes, but that would strangle the economy. But politicians in DC are terrified of not being re-elected, so they are terrified of cutting spending.

What about The Federal Reserve? M2 Money printed by The Fed now exceeds $22 trillion and The Fed’s balance sheet is now around $6.6 trillion. Can The Fed print our way out of the debt crisis? Think of the Weimar Republic with its hyperinflation due to excessive money printing.

The only way out is to drastically cut Federal spending. Or we could rename the US Dollar as the Reichsmark.

Any wonder why gold and silver prices are through the roof?
