INSIGHT

China Losing Trade War Leverage

  • China cannot win a trade war against the U.S. because it has more to lose with less leverage.
  • China's countermeasures like withholding rare earths or selling U.S. treasuries would backfire and harm their own economy.
INSIGHT

Dollar Drop From Foreign Asset Sales

  • The U.S. dollar dropped 4% recently due to foreign asset sales amid tariff worries.
  • Foreigners dumping U.S. bonds drives bond prices down, raising domestic borrowing costs and risking a banking crisis.
ADVICE

Use Hard Money To Cut Spending

  • To cut government spending effectively, we must end fiat money and back the dollar with gold or Bitcoin.
  • Hard money limits Congress's ability to print unlimited money and return us to balanced budgets.
