Inflation eventually adds to your currency!

Zeros that is!

Marc's Notes:

I knew that the government sponsored Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) skewed
their inflation data to reflect much lower inflation than the reality you
and I see around us but it dawned on me while on vacation last week there is
another inflationary machination that's taking place everywhere around us
yet the average Joe Schmoe fails to connect the dots to that and the ever
increasing inflation in our economy.

The BLS s uses a variety of what they call "adjustments" to more accurately
reflect price movements but their adjustments tend to reflect what the
government wants us to believe rather then what you and I actually see on
the street and in the supermarkets.

A host of methodologies (which would make your hair curl if you knew them
all) paint a picture of benign inflation and we even hear occasional claims
of just the opposite; deflation or falling prices.

Everyone knows few prices are really falling. What most of us do see is
persistent inflation eating away at our pocket books at an alarming rate.

It's the reason many people can't make ends meet and why it's getting harder
each and each day to pay our bills.

My most recent epiphany came during my vacation last week where a litany of
surcharges and taxes increased what I thought was pretty reasonable priced
vacation into quite an expensive one. A virtual mountain of fees and
surcharges were on almost every bill I paid, whether it was for lodging,
entertainment or basic necessities.

Fuel surcharges appeared on my transportation bills and the same appeared on
a snorkeling trip for the boat. 4 different taxes appeared on my rental car
bill and I paid even more money to have my luggage on my plane. Hotel taxes
were ludicrous and those resort fees were everywhere. Taxes on meals to
phone calls further eroded my wallets contents and by the time I was thru,
the vacation ran me a heck of a lot more money then the Expedia summary
totaled up months ago when I booked everything.

The avalanche of taxes, fees, surcharges and what have you "add-ons" added
more than 20 % to everything I bought yet the Bureau of Labor statistics
counts none of these additional charges as inflationary.

They're add-ons, not real price increases they tell us, but they take my
money just the same way as an inflationary price increase would.

I look around at my everyday bills and see the same types of charges and
taxes almost everywhere. If I ship something by truck, a fuel surcharge
appears along with transportation taxes. My cell phone bill is riddled with
fees as is almost every other utility bill I pay. I now pay a fire
protection tax of over $100.00 every year which is outside of my normal
property bill and anytime I want to build something I pay the city more fees
which add to the cost of skyrocketing materials and a subsequently higher
sales tax charge. Gas is over 4 bucks a gallon again and a buck or more of
that is just another tax.

The fact is the world's corporations and governments have found a way around
the BLS inflation figures.

They now just add a fee, tax or surcharge and conveniently most of those
charges don't fit into a BLS column anywhere when it comes to its inflation
calculator.

And that's why there is no inflation the way they figure it in Washington.

What helped rescue the American auto manufacturer after the 2008/09 economic
crisis?

Well, mostly you, the American taxpayer.

Thru decades of bad management, little foresight into what car buyers wanted
and over zealous unions pushing for more and more worker concessions, it
only took the push of an economic crisis to expose which car companies were
swimming naked when the economic tides went out.

General Motors was certainly the sicker of the 3, with Chrysler right behind
them, both would probable have folded up their tents had not the US
government spent your money to rescue the behemoths.

Fearing GM and Chrysler would go under, and a valid concern it was, the US
government took to assuming every one of their car warranties so these
companies could continue to sell their cars.

Fear of a bankruptcy and therefore no warranty to back their cars, consumers
would have stop buying cars from both of these companies. The government
program for backing warranties was complicated but in one sentence you get
the picture;

"The U.S. Treasury will work with the auto companies to back-stop your GM
and Chrysler warrantees, and will commit to honoring that warrantee in the
event that the manufacturer cannot".

That's a taxpayer back stop no matter how you look at it. Government
backstopping didn't stop there however. About 24 billion dollars in taxpayer
funds went to these private for profit companies in the months to follow:

*	$17.4 billion for General Motors and Chrysler.
*	$6 billion for GMAC.
*	$1.5 billion for Chrysler Financial.

The auto companies did however get to keep all their profits throughout the
years but apparently didn't save much. Even more in bond support and
outright dirt cheap loans further padded the coffers of the American auto
companies all because these companies were not strong enough to weather a
hiccup in their revenue streams because of bad management over many, many
years.

Once car sales plummeted by about a third during the real estate bust, GM
and Chrysler started to gasp and eagerly gulped down your tax money to keep
their bloated carcasses alive. The government made them promise to
streamline their products and strive for more fuel efficient cars, something
these companies should have been doing anyway, but that sounded good so
that's what was spoon-fed to the public as some bullcrap condition.

Now that these companies are alive and kicking, the Feds continue to help
them limp along with ultra low interest rates to fuel car loans and the
banking sector is now packaging up auto loans into bundles much like they
did with real estate loans a few years back. 

In conclusion, many Americans support the government bailouts of the auto
companies but truthfully folks, that's not what America is supposed to be
about. It's a free country, and that means if you make mistakes, you are
free to go broke as well.

That new NO RISK FDIC insured CD I spoke about for many months is now
available but its end date is nearing!

You have to hurry as it closes in about 2 more weeks or so.

Here is how it works:

1.	No risk of principal. You will at the minimum get all your money
back as it is FDIC INSURED.
2.	It has a 5 years tie up with no interest. (Matures September 18th,
2018
3.	It is tied to 4 currencies: Columbia, India, Mexico and Turkey.
4.	If the market performance is greater than 0 %, you get 15 % !
5.	If the market performance is less than 0%, you get all your money
back.
6.	You also get 100% of the upside so your profit potential is
essentially unlimited!
7.	No fees.

Since we are hedging against a US dollar fall, this CD is an option and the
only vehicle I know where I may possibly protect against inflation yet risk
nothing and we could make a ton!

No risk and major upside potential. That is a steal of a deal in my opinion
and I am buying one immediately for my family.

Here is the link so you get the correct product. Make sure you buy the right
one and read the prospectus before you buy anything but I think you are
going to LOVE THIS CD. Remember they don't come around very often and I get
listeners and readers all the time saying they were sorry they missed a
Money Matters recommended product.

Don't miss out this time!
