During episode 217, Jason Hartman interviews chartered financial analyst Daniel Amermanon his popular podcast The Creating Wealth Show. Hartman and Amerman discuss the likely outcome of the recent multi-trillion dollar increase in the debt limit and the idea of turning inflation into profit for savvy investors.
Amerman believes that the real economic problem is that the private economy has not rebounded. The private economy fell by $1.3 trillion in a period of months while government spending simultaneously rose by $1 trillion. While private economy fell and the public economy surged, between the two it was only a small drop. As such, the heart of the problem is lack of recovery in the private economy.
If you took every household in the country and they ran a deficit of a thousand dollars a month, thats equivalent to whats going on in the federal deficit right now, explains Amerman. As long as the federal government is creating an extra trillion dollars a year deficit on top of what was already a problematic deficit of $450 billion in 2008, the U.S. is going to be at an extraordinary level of government spending.
What were seeing with the deficit limit was more or a less a surface cover-up of the symptom of the problem, said Amerman. The real problem isnt the deficits themselves. Its the astronomical rate at which the U.S. is racking up new debt.
Hartman and Amerman further discuss the effect of inflation on the nations saversits the average person who has spent decades saving and working hard who gets devastated. Amerman recommends focusing on the simple domestic playshard assets that generate cash flow. In other words, income property which can be borrowed against if necessary.
Amerman is convinced that too many promises and too much paper wealth chasing with few real resources will likely lead to substantial inflation in the years ahead. Years of studying the costs of paying for over $100 trillion of U.S. government retirement promises, as well as the costs of cashing out an expected $44 trillion of Baby Boomer pensions and retirement accounts, lead to his hypotheses. This all points to potentially devastating implications for many savers and investors. A problem that also applies to many other nations.
Amerman believes there is a basic economic principle that much of the public is unaware ofinflation doesnt directly destroy the real wealth of goods and services, but rather, redistributes the rights to that real wealth. Unfortunately, this principle will most likely destroy much of the investment wealth that Baby Boomers plan on enjoying in retirement.
A financial author and speaker with over 25 years of professional experience, Amermans books Mortgage Securities and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations, are known for their innovative, easy to understand approach to complex and somewhat controversial conclusions. Amerman spent much of the 1980s as an investment banker helping Savings & Loans and others try to survive the effects of the last major bout of inflation in the United States. He has authored the Turning Inflation Into Wealth series and worked with the effects of billions of dollars of such wealth redistributionswitnessing how there was not only a loser for each dollar of wealth redistributed but a winner.
