Since the Federal Reserve's creation in 1913, the U.S. dollar has lost approximately 96% of its purchasing power. The Fed's 2% inflation target means your savings lose half their value every 36 years by design. During 2020-2021, the Fed printed $4.6 trillion -- more than in its entire previous history. Consumer prices surged. Meanwhile, asset-owning wealthy Americans saw their net worth increase by trillions as printed money flowed into stocks and real estate rather than the real economy. Savers were punished while borrowers were rewarded.

“Central banks deliberately destroy the value of savings through money printing and inflation targeting. The system is designed to force people into risky investments and debt.”
