Episode Details

We all know that prices are going up and life is becoming more expensive, and while politicians run on affordability and promise to change things, the problem only keeps getting worse. There's a reason for this, and it's not capitalist greed. Matt Kibbe sits down with J.P. Cortez, executive director of the Sound Money Defense League, to explain that inflation is the consequence of the government's insistence on waging endless wars. Governments can't tax or borrow enough to spend trillions in the Middle East, so instead they just print more money, enriching military contractors while the average worker watches his savings disappear before his eyes. The only way to bring back real affordability is to put a stop to needless foreign conflicts once and for all.
