Money and Markets: Investing Insights

11 startling facts Obama and Bernanke do NOT want you to think about …

Martin D. Weiss, Ph.D. | Sunday, April 4, 2010 at 7:30 am

Martin D. Weiss, Ph.D.

Good morning! I’m having a great Sunday and I hope you are too!

But as soon as you get a chance, print this report and give a copy to everybody you care about. It contains 11 staggering facts that every American needs to know — and that every investor won’t be able to succeed without …

FACT #1: The official national debt now stands at $12.68 trillion — an amount equal to about 88.5% of all the goods and services our economy produces in an entire year.

FACT #2: Contingent obligations for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, veterans, and pensions now stand at an additional $108 trillion over and above the “official” national debt.

FACT #3: State, county and local governments are nearly $3 trillion in debt. Many can’t pay and will ultimately demand that Washington assume responsibility for that debt as well.

FACT #4: Total federal, state and local government indebtedness now stands at a mind-blowing $123.6 trillion.

FACT #5: Last year, Washington added $1.4 trillion to the debt. In this fiscal year, the Obama administration will add another $1.6 trillion!

FACT #6: In addition to funding the current trillion-dollar-plus deficits, the U.S. Treasury must borrow MORE each year to replace bills, notes and bonds that are maturing.

FACT #7: This record-shattering borrowing by the Treasury has resulted in a Mt. Everest of Treasury obligations being dumped onto the market, which naturally depresses bond prices and drives interest rates higher.

FACT #8: In a desperate attempt to keep interest rates low, the Bernanke Federal Reserve has created $1.25 trillion out of thin air to buy mortgage-backed securities … another $300 billion to buy U.S. Treasuries … and yet another $170.6 billion to buy other government bonds — a total of nearly $1.7 trillion in all.

FACT #9: From September 10, 2008 to March 10 of this year, Bernanke increased the nation’s monetary base from $850 billion to $2.1 trillion — a 250% increase in just 18 months.

FACT #10: Despite this massive money-printing, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note has STILL risen by more than one-fifth — from 3.2% to 3.86% — since December.

FACT #11: Because of this massive money-printing, the U.S. dollar has lost nearly 10% of its value in the past 12 months alone.

CONCLUSION: This unprecedented debt crisis is the single greatest threat to your wealth and standard of living in decades. But because crisis breeds opportunity, it can also be your best chance to multiply your wealth — IF you make the right moves now.

My team and I are doing our dead level best to make sure you have EVERYTHING you need to weather this storm in fine shape — by inviting you to join …
