In this week’s Off The Cuff I sit down with David Collum to discuss:
- The looming fiscal & social crises caused by underfunded pensions
- Is everything in America is now “Too Big To Fail”?
- Investing for a future of secular inflation
- The dangers of cancel culture & the “woke” movement
Never short on strong opinions, Cornell chemist and pontificator extraordinaire Dave Collum joins us this week to opine on a wide spectrum of topics.
Dave is very concerned about the trajectory America and much of the world is headed, careening down a slope that history shows ends in economic malaise, social discord and currency collapse. As a society, we seem to have lost our backbone; every politician is willing to sacrifice tomorrow’s prosperity for today’s quick fix, and the populace only rewards that can-kicking behavior.
When everyone is so unwilling to face consequences they are making a devil’s bargain: receiving a carefree today in exchange for a tomorrow filled with much larger problems that refuse to be postpones any longer. Are we ready for that reckoning?

In this week's Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and John Rubino discuss:
- Sovereign Sabre-Rattling
- Suddenly, the world became a lot less safe
- Market Misdirection
- The central planners are doing their utmost to paint a positive picture
- The Era Of Easy Money is Over
- Debt-funded stimulus no longer results in an increase of GDP
- How This All Will End
- Exploring the likely pins that will pop this "mother of all bubbles"
Chris and John look at the disconnect between world events and stock prices and urge folks not to misled: risk is high, and getting higher. There is *no* rational reason for the current price levels in financial markets — only gobs and gobs of liquidity being force-fed into the system by the world's central banks.
But the data is increasingly showing that the era of "easy money" we've lived under since the Great Recession has reached its inevitable terminus. Shoving more debt into the system is no longer boosting GDP. We are now simply blowing bigger asset bubbles that will monumentally destructive when they burst — as they must.

In this week's Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and John Rubino discuss:
- The Coming Debt Explosion
- Really? We're going to try to add more??
- Pension Time Bomb
- Going off sooner than most expect
- The Evil Fed
- It's policies are at the root of our economic predicament
- The Revolution Is Brewing
- Continental Europe will see the next iconoclast elected
The only thing more frightening than the massive overburden of debt weighing on today's economy is the recent trial balloon that we need to add a bunch more in order to spark economic growth. Chris and John slam this wrongheaded thinking, and direct our attention to the damage the effects of already having too much debt is wreaking on our future prospects.

Danielle DiMartino Booth, former analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, has just released the book Fed Up: An Insider's Take On Why The Federal Reserve Is Bad For America.
In it, Danielle describes how the Federal Reserve is controlled by 1,000 PhD economists and run by an unelected West Coast radical with no direct business experience. The Fed continues to enable Congress to grow our nation’s ballooning debt and avoid making hard choices, despite the high psychological and monetary costs. And our addiction to the "heroin" of low interest rates is pushing our economy towards yet another collapse.
This reckless monetary policy pursued by the Fed has resulted in the rich elite becoming markedly richer, while savers and retirees are being absolutely gutted. All while risking a coming conflagration in the bond markets that will destroy a painful percentage of the world's financial wealth:

Every year, friend-of-the-site David Collum writes a detailed "Year in Review" synopsis full of keen perspective and plenty of wit. This year's is no exception. As with past years, he has graciously selected PeakProsperity.com as the site where it will be published in full. It's quite longer than our usual posts, but worth the time to read in full.
