When the U.S. left the gold standard in 1971, it created a debt-based system that requires constant expansion. The Federal Reserve targets 2% annual inflation to keep it going, which amounts to a systematic 2% yearly wealth transfer from savers to borrowers.
It's not a bug, it's a feature. So when Nixon took us off of the gold standard in 1971, he severed all ties and we're in a debt-based— we went from an equity-based and now a debt-based monetary system. And so that means that the money is created through debt issuance. And that means that in that type of a system, the debt becomes the asset or collateral for more debt. And so in that system, it has to always grow. It's why Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve says Our target is 2% inflation. It's higher than that, but our goal is 2%. So their goal is to only steal 2% a year, or that's 10% of your wealth every 5 years. That's their goal.
