Liberty and Finance, Released on 2/22/25 (Recorded on 2/19/25)

John Rubino discusses the potential for the U.S. to follow a path similar to Argentina, where government downsizing may become necessary. He highlights that entrenched interests and military profits are significant counterforces to these cuts, and the pushback from these groups could be substantial. Stories of government workers being laid off could also influence Congress, slowing down the downsizing process. Rubino emphasizes that the U.S. is dangerously over-leveraged, with immense debt across various sectors, making a monetary reset inevitable. He suggests investing in tangible assets like gold and silver as a hedge against a potential currency crisis driven by inflation and the future transition to government-controlled monetary systems, which could limit personal freedoms.
