That statement probably isn’t surprising to most.  What may be surprising to some is that the official inflation rate, or better stated, the official measure of the loss in U.S. dollar purchasing power has been significantly understated.  On the Retirement Lifestyle Radio program this week, your host Dennis Tubbergen discusses this and the outlook for investors with returning guest, Dr. A Gary Shilling.  Earlier this year Dr. Shilling predicted a surge in the yield on U.S. Treasuries…he was certainly spot-on in that prediction.

Dr. A. Gary Shilling is an American financial analyst and commentator who appears on a regular basis in publications such as Forbes magazine, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.  He is also the author of the monthly newsletter INSIGHT, and the book “The Age of Deleveraging”.

2019-11-03 EXPERT INTERVIEW – IAN GORDON

Thomas Jefferson is quoted as protesting, “If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered…. I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies…. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.”

This week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates Radio your host Dennis Tubbergen speaks with long-time frequent guest Ian Gordon of the Longwave Group.  The two discuss the history of central bank policies and how, once again, they are repeating.
