  1. Oh by the way…. And since you mentioned Medicare & Medicaid outlays …. The unfunded liability to meet those obligations plus social security over the next 30 years , at present value, is about north of 100 trillion dollars. And since the Federal Government does not follow GAAP here , not many are talking about this non funded liability. You ought to make a video on this alone.

  2. And I almost forgot … All of those accrued payrol deductions on Social Security and Medicare are invested 😊 on Federal Government I.O.U.s. Bonds, zteasury Bills and Notes.

  4. If Argentinians were half as smart, they would start barters associations. Argentina is out of world trade, so count imports and taxed exports out. Which leaves a few e port commodities. And manufactured goods, well when was the last time you seen a Made in Argentina stamp ? The problem is …. Argentines will screw each other , so never mind a barter system that works. They can always jump ship. There are plenty of them in Brazil, Spain , Mexico.

  5. I hate to pop your balloon , but trades around the dollar have been taking place going back 40 years. They hav not just scaled up yet. But they will. The mere idea central banks have to shore up their reserves by purchasing US dollars is highly detrimental to these very countries. It’s dead weight. And bankroll the American way of life is adding insult to injury. Give them a system they can rely upon, with the right incentives , and they will dump the US dollar.

  6. Lena, Your presentation is valuable and worth listening. But something is amiss. I tell you what. You need to make it si paler for the average Joe can understand. So you will become more quotable. You are too straight laced. Go watch some Johny Harris videos. You sound like the Money GPS dude… on skirts. You are smart, good looking. You need to develop yiur own presentation signature. Way too much stock footage.

  7. In the dealership industry , when a buyer wants to trade his/her car, still with owed payments , sales and F&I staff label such prospective customers as being upside down. Anyways , it is a bad deed to buy a depreciating asset. I knew of a Dominican landlord , a retired engineer from the Boston area , who owned several multi tenant buildings. But did not own a car. We brokers would be driving the cheap bastard all over. He is rich. We were poor hustlers.

  8. Not only she is decently looking she knows her mettle. Russian gals tend to be like that. And the editing of the subject title is done impeccably well.

  11. You could no pinpoint which one of the many Brazilian steel mills I suggested the Japanese would invest. Reads to me as you have no clue , and your remarks are short of armchair analysis. Shooting from the hip.
